51. And Jim Morrison got The Doors banned from the Ed Sullivan Show...
...for agreeing not to sing "girl we couldn't get much higher" in "Light My Fire" and then going on the show and singing "girl we couldn't get much higher..."



The Stones, on the other hand, were more than willing to comply with Uncle Ed while crooning their hit "Let's Spend Some Time Together"...I mean what the hell, Mick & Keith...you couldn't have just picked a different song?

So bravo to Green Day. Censorship sucks.
