When I told my dad the Super Bowl performance will be broadcasted with a delay just in case they need to edit out improper scenes, in light of the now infamous wardrobe malfunction fiasco back in 2004, my dad asked what improper thing the Stones could do? I said maybe Mick Jagger might drop his pants.
Well, it turned out the Stones' performance was indeed censored, not for Jagger's pants though. The word "come" in the line "you make a dead man come" from "Start Me Up" and the word "cocks" in their new song "Rough Justice" were silenced. No wonder Jagger's singing sounded so weird to me. I wouldn't believe Jagger would choke for such a high-profile performance especially given the amount of "practice" they got from their extensive touring schedule.
I think this is really lame but that's just another indicator that America is ruled by ultraconservatives. Their mind was stucked in 1967, when the Stones' lyric was censored on the Ed Sullivan shows back then.
