Hi LB, re: Rolling Stones, last I heard they cancelled their China appearances due to SARS. Funny about the censorship of those four songs -- Ed Sullivan censored Let's Spend the Night Together -- when they appeared on his show he asked them to change it to "Let's Spend Some Time Together," and they did. That was almost 40 years ago. The offensive words were "let's spend the night together," nothing else. In Beast of Burden, the offensive words are "All I want is for you to make love to me." In Honkey Tonk Woman, the offensive words are "I laid a divorcee in New York City." In Brown Sugar, the offensive words are "brown sugar how come you taste so good?" Which may give you some insight into what is considered offensive in China. Maybe the words come out different in translation. I'd love to know which songs were not banned, because I bet the censor missed some things.-g-
