Why was the Rolling Stones censored by ABC during their Super Bowl performance?

I believe it was because they were concerned that the Stones would throw in an anti-Bush song.

The game is being shown on ABC.  What's the problem?

There is no known recording of that entire game.  There is only the original ABC Sports broadcast, in which they showed most, but not all of the game.  That is occasionally shown on ESPN Classic.

I'll be missing out on something important tonight.\nWe had tickets for the Stones concert tonight, but they changed it to tomorrow night, and I have to work, so I can't go.\nWe should be seeing the Stones TONIGHT.

Clay Aiken putting his hand over Kelly Ripa's mouth was absolutely disrespectful. It was not a matter of being judgmental about sexual orientation but a matter of personal hygiene. For pete's sake, who wants anybody's hand over their mouths??? I think Rosie O'Donnell reacting to that incident was out of hand. Raising the "gay rights" issue only makes her look like she's an insecure gay person. Everything for her is always trampling on her gay rights. Maybe it's time she looks at the mirror and ask if she herself is not trampling on basic human rights.

Yes ... since I answerd a question and had the Herman Mellvile book "MOBY DICK" in the answer ... and it gets censored too. (see!!!!) The censor program is just looking for certain words not the content or context.  Too Bad!\n\nBut this is their ballpark, and we gotta play by their rules!!

It is starting to come out that Kramer was heckled for over ten minutes. One of the things that was said to him was, "you aint funny nigg a" then when kramer replied with a witty retort the heckler replied with "You don't know me nigg a, Don't fuc k with this nigg a".\n\nIt also is being reported that the black guys who were calling kramer nigg a and threatening him were also threatening the people who opened up the show for Richards..\n\nReal innocent victims...? Seems like two punks who should've been bounced out before Richards ever hit the stage..

I will sign the petition and hope you get your concert cause I've been a fan for lots of years and I have seen them live. I think Dave had laryngitis and that's why it was called off, but still they need to reschedule. In my opinion. Hope you get enough signatures. And enjoy the concert if they respond to your request. Devotee for life.

Very. I changed the channel as soon as I saw it. The only thing that it even comes close to was the Monday night football game where Joe Theisman had his leg broken. I was watching that game and for some reason, my friend was recording it off television. He kept showing and rewinding and showing Theisman breaking his legs. Yuk. But yes, Seau was pretty disturbing. But to his credit, he was walking off the field like nothing happened, giving the crowd the thumbs up...

I'm from Pittsburgh and I hear that Local Station chose not to show or release.\nWait around and somebody might leak it.\nI'm sure it won't be available in Cleveland.

In general, yes, it bans freedom of speech.  If, however, a company (say a privately owned nightclub) refuses to play a song within its doors because it does not like the messages in the song, the club's owners are within *their* rights to do so.  Does that ban creativity?  Not really, since the club owners aren't telling the artist that he/she can never play it or record it anywhere.  They aren't silencing the artist, they're merely not supporting them.  Now if the government showed up at the doors of the artist and forbid them from having anything ever to do with the song, that would be spitting on freedom of speech.  There's the difference.

they all took drugs!!!! but the beatles took the time to coordinate their outfits and hair and all of that. it is just all about the image that they projected. the beatles went for the jugular of the us teens, and they got it! through the teen population they swept the country like wildfire. the stones had it a bit harder because they were bad asses from the start. but look at them now... still touring and being the stones. half of the beatles are dead, and only mc cartney is doing anything.... wel at least I have not heard of ringo doing much of anything. what it all comes down to is that the beatles wrapped themselves in pretty packaging and later came out of their boxes, whereas the stones were the stones from day one, no appologies

Censorship is a dirty word, I do think there is such a thing as polite, but we in everyday life are bombarded by mfer this and f that, just turn on HBO or Cinamax, things that go on every afternoon on my tv are soft porn. I find it humorous that we all do the things that we censor ourselves with, I sh*t every morning, I fcuk every night. but I do not want you to pass the fcuking salt at the dinner table. It is really hard to understand why one thing is considered dirty and the same thing is ok. If you get it all figured out let me know.
