Rolling Stones agreed to Super Bowl censorship

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Veteran rockers the Rolling Stones agreed to be censored at Sunday's U.S. Super Bowl halftime show, a National Football League spokesman said on Monday.

The Super Bowl football game is America's top rated broadcast event but it has been the subject of controversy ever since 2004 when there was an outcry about indecency after Janet Jackson bared her breast during the half-time show in what was famously described as a "wardrobe malfunction."

The Rolling Stones delivered their usual slick rock 'n' roll performance with Mick Jagger stalking the stage, grinding his hips and pouting like a man half his age.

But during "Start Me Up," the line "you make a dead man come" was cut short and a barnyard reference to "cocks" in the new song "Rough Justice" also disappeared.

"The Rolling Stones were aware of our plan which was to simply lower the volume on his microphone at those two appropriate moments," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Reuters. "We had agreed to that plan earlier in the week. The Stones were aware of it and they were fine with it."

ABC, which broadcast the Super Bowl, said it had a 5-second delay in place but it was not used to censor anything during the broadcast. "If there were any alterations of lyrics it was done by the NFL," said Mark Mandel of ABC Sports.

The New York Times said last week the Stones had agreed to tone down their language on other occasions in the past.

Back in 1967 the band appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on the same day as the first Super Bowl, which was then called the world championship game. They wanted to sing "Let's Spend the Night Together," but Sullivan insisted they change the lyrics to "Let's Spend Some Time Together."

"Jagger consented, reluctantly, but rolled his eyes while he sang," the newspaper said.

McCarthy said the half-time show retained 98 percent of the overall audience who tuned in to watch the game, in which the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-10.

With the Super Bowl played in Detroit this year, the choice of the Stones for the half-time show upset some locals who were pushing for Motown music acts and other home-grown talent.

But the uproar was quelled after organizers announced that Motown legend Stevie Wonder would headline the pregame show, and "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin was tapped to perform the National Anthem.

McCarthy said the only moment producers were caught unawares was when Stevie Wonder said a few extra words than what was expected. He made a plea for peace at the end of his set, saying: "Let us come together before we're annihilated."

"Surprised, yes. Concerned? No," McCarthy said, commenting on the remark.

“Start me Up”って、windows 95のCMに使われていた奴ですよね。ところで、カットされた” You, you make a dead man come”というフレーズって、やはりやばいの?
