Thank God. I can finally sleep at night.

Anyone know when the world will stop turning? I'd like to get off now.

**** the little snowflakes. Leave the old Rockers alone.

What are the candy *** whiners going to whine about next?

The world is turning into a collection of *******.

You can't even hear Dire Straits sing about

That little ****** with the earing and the makeup without a bunch of whiners crying for censorship.

Imagine devoting time to looking for something to be offended about. The snowflakes never cease to amaze me.

If I'm making a playlist on my phone or iPod, I always make sure to find the "explicit" version. Just to **** off the whiners.

I saw the title and thought “Sit-Rep” but then saw it was in Gen Pol. A Top 10 if not Top 5 Stones song?

Cars in the 60s were just something that's never been duplicated and probably never will again.

the old rockers are the ones that capitulated here.

you'd figure at their age, with their money, and their reputation they could have stuck out their middle finger.

Edit: ironic that it's the "no filter" your but they're self-censoring.

This is great news. Now every black child will have a father, do well in school , graduate , go to a good college etc. Thanks to the Rolling Stones.

It seems like most of them do. Everyone is afraid of the mob.

It is funny on FB. Eric Clapton may be the most hated by the brown shirt leftist mob right now. Every time one of the music web sites post an article about him, the mob descends on the post to say that Clapton was never really all that good of a guitarist.

To all the African American strippers who danced to this song in the 90s, I want my $20 back.

I can say without a doubt, this thread has gotten the song stuck in my head...

I've been thinking about African American strippers myself .

5 years they’ll go after Veterans Day.

Oh wait, songs. Everything by The Allman Brothers Band because of all the songs they covered.
