The
oldest rock band on the planet was recently granted the opportunity
to perform live concerts for fans in China.
The Rolling Stones concerts are a landmark occasion
in a nation where people aren't allowed to do anything. In
comparison, if the American Government was currently treating
their people like dirt, then the Chinese Government would
be treating their own people like rabid monkey feces.
Upon landing in China, guitarist
Keith Richards was immediately fitted with Chinese Fingertraps,
hindering his ability to roll a doobie.
Allowing the Rolling Stones into their country is an incredibly
risky move for the Chinese Government. It's long been against
their policy to expose their people to anything that might
actually make them think. (When people start thinking, a government
can find itself in serious shit)
How fuckin' uptight are these Chinese Officials if they're
concerned about "obnoxiously rebellious behavior"
from a group of aging seniors? They even decided to ban several
songs that contained references to sex and drugs.... But without
sex and drugs, how can Rock & Roll exist?
It's perfectly understandable that the Chinese Leaders would
want to ban songs with sexually suggestive messages...
Because when your country has a population of one billion,
you definitely wanna discourage people from having sex.
On the list of forbidden songs was "Rough
Justice". The lyrics could hardly be considered
offensive, as the song is about relationships. This was apparently
unacceptable to the Chinese Government, because their idea
of "rough justice" is violently killing a bunch
of unarmed protesters.
