FINALLY The Rolling Stones played in China. They were supposed to do it in the 80's, but supposedly Mick Jagger and a head honcho butted heads, so it never happened. Then they were supposed to play in 2003, but had to cancel the show because of the SARS breakout.
Mick yelled out "Hi, how ya doin?" in Chinese to the crowd, and things went well. They were barred from playing five songs: "Brown Sugar," "Honky Tonk Woman," "Beast of Burden," "Let's Spend the Night Together," and "Rough Justice." So the guys played "Start Me Up" and "Sympathy for the Devil" and nobody cared? Censors were afraid of those other five songs, but "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is fine? China is weird.
