Was Ed Sullivan right to censor?

I'm beginning to think Ed Sullivan was right.

So were all the other censors that didn't
allow The Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the
Night Together" to be played on the radio
back in the late 1960s.

It worries me somewhat -- does this mean I'm
old now?

I don't think so. But somehow it creeps me
out to see/hear so much blatant sex in
the media.

The above Rolling Stones song is now played
by the local radio station and I'm sure nobody
thinks anything about it. It sounds so
sweet and innocent compared to so much that's
played.

Certainly compared to rap -- which I absolutely
hate and loathe for many reasons which I don't even
want to write about because even writing
this much to mention it makes me feel like I
need to take a long shower.

I'm well aware that rock and roll is about sex --
in fact, the name is old time slang for sex
(as is "jazz" for that matter, something we've
forgotten as a culture).

I just think it's more effective when it's
about sex but not explicitly.

The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" --
voted the best rock and roll song ever recorded by
editors of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE.

It's certainly about sexual dissatisfaction --
yet it's about more. Heck, when I first heard
it, I was so young I'd never experienced
sexual satisfaction.

I knew I was dissatisfied, and over a lot
of things.

The sexual frustration colors the social
and other personal dissatisfaction.

The social and other personal dissatisfaction
