Am I Just One Of Your Cocks?The latest self appointed cultural watchdog groups will likely raise hell about what was censored during the Rolling Stones' performance during the Super Bowl halftime show and long for the tame breast of Janet popping out.
In "Start Me Up," the show's editors silenced one word, a reference to a woman's sexual sway over a dead man. The lyrics for "Rough Justice" included a synonym for rooster that the network also deemed worth cutting out. Link
In "Start Me Up", they censored the word come in "You make a dead man come" -- although this reporter says Mick censored himself. Not likely. He mentioned the Ed Sullivan 1967 show where Ed made them change the lyrics of "Let's Spend the Night Together" to "Let's Spend Some Time Together".
And in "Rough Justice", they censored the word cocks in the line "Am I just one of your cocks?"
It's beyond strange when you hear a brief silence over where the word "cock" obviously would apply. Oh, and the football games? Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21 - 10.
