Stones speak over Chinese censorship

Mick Jagger says the Rolling Stones don't mind their Shanghai set list being curtailed by China's Ministry of Culture.

Ahead of his performance in Shanghai at the weekend, Mick Jagger revealed at a news conference that he and his band didn't care much that the set list for their Chinese gig was been curtailed by the country's Ministry of Culture. Jagger said, referring to the fact that much of the audience was expected to be non-chinese, "It's not really an issue. But I'm pleased that the Ministry of Culture is protecting the morals of the expat bankers and their girlfriends."

Which shows you what the band's priorities are, and they clearly don't involve taking any kind of a principled stand against censorship.
