The Rolling Stones: Canada gets Satisfaction
It's only rock 'n' roll but we like it! For nearly 40 years, Mick and the boys have had a torrid love affair with Toronto. From secret rehearsals and club gigs, to Keith Richards' heroin bust in 1977 and partying with Margaret Trudeau, the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band has called Toronto its home-away-from-home, and delivered the one thing they're famous for: Satisfaction. Ladies and gentlemen... The Rolling Stones.

Rolling Stones fans around the world anxiously await the release of the band's latest album, Emotional Rescue. Unfortunately, they'll have to wait a bit longer as the release is delayed due to a potentially libelous song — Claudine — being removed. In this CBC Radio clip, Mick Jagger explains why the band compromised and cut the track. "I don't mind being sued," admits Jagger, "but I don't want the album to be withdrawn [after] it goes out."Emotional Rescue released... nearly
• Claudine refers to the turbulent life of Claudine Longet. Longet married American singer Andy Williams and had three children with him before she moved in with Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich in 1975. On March 21, 1976, Sabich was shot dead in his Aspen, Colo. chalet. On Jan. 14, 1977 Longet was convicted of negligent homicide (during the trial Longet testified that the gun went off when Sabich was showing her how to use it) and she spent a month in jail.• "Claudine...She shot him once right through the head. She shot him twice right through the chest. Judge ruled it was an accident…Accidents will happen…" — lyrics from Claudine.
• Though Claudine was left off Emotional Rescue, pirated and bootlegged tapes of the song were widely circulated amongst Stones fans.
• Emotional Rescue is considered one of the Stones' more eclectic albums, featuring a wide range of musical styles including dance music (Dance and the title track), reggae (Let Me Go), New Wave (Send It To Me), and classic rock 'n' roll (She's So Cold).
• The controversy over Claudine wasn't the first time the Stones compromised. In 1967 the band appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in the U.S. to sing Let's Spend The Night Together. To satisfy censors, Jagger sang "Let's spend some time together".
