Cocks don't come for Jagger's superbowl

Jagger is lost for words as Superbowl plays it safe

Two awkward gaps marred the Rolling Stones' short performance at Amerika's equivilent of a football cup final censored seemingly with the band's permission. See report link above. The offending words, "cocks" and "come" were not even used out of their conventional context and their exclusion was simply over-sensitive pandering to the minions of a vacant-minded imperial homeland.

More's the shame. If Jagger and company had any real spirit left they'd have played "Sweet Neo-Con" from the new album and reprised "Highwire" - the latter being a single released (not on any album and one of their best ever rock tracks) at the height of the first Gulf War. Closing with "Sympathy for the Devil" would also have provided a suitable anthem for the land of Bush.

As the Strolling Bones gather considerable age, where is the spirit of rock and roll?

Later.
