Mick Jagger and the boys are not happy with their songs be tinkered with during the Super Bowl halftime performance. However, I am completely amused by how journalists reporting this story have to figure out ways to describe what was censored, especially for “Start Me Up.” Personally, I don’t give a damn. If you don’t know the songs by now and can’t sing the “offensive bits” on your own, then quit complaining. Fer chrissakes, it was the Super Bowl, what did anyone expect? And really, The Stones ceased to be interesting back when they were playing for King Tut. But as Bob Seger once sang to our offended ears, “rock and roll never forgets.” I wish it would sometimes.
