American TV hits new level of patheticallity? patheticness? If you are not familiar with the Stones's work the lyrics cut are:→[More:]

"you make a dead man cu-uuu-um!"

"Once upon a time I was your little rooster
But now I am just one of your little cocks"

Oh jesus. If Jagger had said the lyric as originally written, it would be a big news story (and probably an FCC fine, since it involves a sexual function).

But since he didn't say it... it's a big news story??

Give me a fucking break.

I wish they had, had ICP. Fuck the NFL pussy audience.

I think it's Amurrikuh that is the pussy audience. Where else can one enter the bible belt and immediately see billboards for titty bars right and left?!

The Stones sucked. How can Mick Jagger move so much and yet show so little energy? He was going through the motions. They did not seem like they were having a good time up there.

I played freecell during halftime. I've made it my goal to win all million games.

Halftime is when you pee.

Free cell is great. So is spider solitaire.

I have a friend who says "The Stones aren't a band, they're a contract. You pay your money, you get a standard performance. It's as good as it needs to be and no better."

I was sort of half watching that at my friends' house, and at one point I walked by and said "I feel like I'm watching the bloated corpse of rock'n'roll slowly floating down a river."

New Stones lyrics to Start Me Up:

"If you pay enough/
we'll play enough for a halftime spot!"
If you pay enough/
We'll pretend that we can really rock!"

"We once were hot/
but now we just sit there like an unwashed sock!"

"You, you, Americans/
will pay to see any-thing!"

(guitar solo you've heard a million times)
