The Chinese government has ordered the

Rolling Stones to cut four of their best-known hits

from next month's mainland shows.

 

The band, which is scheduled to perform April 1

in Shanghai and April 4 in Beijing, will not be

allowed to play "Brown Sugar," "Honky Tonk

Woman," "Beast of Burden" or "Let's Spend the

Night Together," Chen Jixin, head of Beijing Time

New Century Entertainment, a concert organizer

behind the two China dates, said yesterday.


 

It seems that the Chinese authorities consider these songs to be inappropriately sexual...

 

It got me thinking of which Stones' songs I associate with LOS. My personal list:

 

Going To A Go Go

Hot Stuff

If You Can't Rock Me

Little Queenie (Thermae)

Memory Motel

It's All Over Now

Under My Thumb

Waiting On A Friend

Stray Cat Blues (this one's Cambodia)

Out Of Control

 

 

BTW hope they do Starfucker for an encore :)
