Well, between that and the Great Firewall of China, they're about all locked up.

Actually, though, who in China would listen to them? Seriously...I don't know any Chinese that don't listen to Chinese artists LoL.

Aw Jeez! I can't believe that in 1967 on Ed Sullivan instead of "Let's Spend The Night Together" they censored it to "Let's Spend Some Time Together".

If people can't stand to keep the original lyrics in the song, why did they even bother allowing the Stones to sing the song at all?

Actually it's not a bad idea to censor the Stone's more "racy" lyrics.
In a country like China that has a bazillion people, the last thing you need to do is encourage them to have more sex.
