Super Bowl Sunday

Greetings fellow football fans!

I figure the whole United states is loosening our collective top button of our jeans for the first unofficial holday of the New Year: Super Bowl Sunday.

I love me some super bowl. Funny commercials, lots of snack foods and reckless abandonment for ones liver.

And hey in case that wasn' enough for you the Stones are playing halftime.

I have to admit since the whole titty thing the Super Bowl halftime show has become dare I say something people watch?

Truth is I was on a beer run and missed the titty. Now there are 2 things wrong with this:

1) I love me some ladies and their breasts
2) I don't drink beer.

I did however catch all the replays, screenshots, slow motion captures ET al of Janet's right boob floating in hyperspace.

Personally I think it's much less of a big deal to see a breast than deplorable violence and the decay of civilization on the news but that's not where I'm going with this...

Paul McCartney last year brought it on the world stage of the Super Bowl. his set was dare I say pretty good (if you took away all of the bullshit floating around him). A single spotlight on him and a piano would have been minimalist, innovative and captivating.

but I live in the land of over the top so it's not a halftime show with out explosions and pomp and circumstance.

Anyway I doubt the Stones with play anything I really want to hear. I doubt highly the "Emotional Rescue" "Miss You".

Lets see if I can predict what they will play...

I go with "Start Me Up" to lead off. No brainer, big hit bla bla bla. they sold it to Microsoft the songs soul has been forever decimated since then. Big friggin deal.

They'll probably do some sort of Disney-esque medley. Nothing worse that one song with 8 lines of 8 songs you really like but not enough to keep you happy. Like finding a fry on the floor of your car. Sure it was good, but now its cold and alone.

So after all of this I realize one thing. I'm going on a beer run at halftime.

Enjoy the game.

It's Been A Long Time

Yes its true. It has been a long time. I shouldn't have left you without a dope rhyme to step to. I hope you all are doing fine in '06. Crazy world we're in. You can do everything from everywhere in the country but leave the US and it's 1960 around the world. The drop of is huge between the 1st and 3rd world. Think about the t term "Third World" it makes it sound like its not as good as the 1st world. Like it's some backup world sitting on the bench of the cosmos. It dresses for the games but doesn't really expect to get any playing time. That's how we pay it at least. So when you can't get cell service think of the people of the world who can't get power or medicines or food.

God Bless America and it's supreme holy warrior Bush.

I'm not coming out against the man, I'm not coming out for the man either. He's just indicative of the country we're in. He is the captain of a ship where more teenagers look to American Idol for their dreams than read their books. Tangible dreams aren't cool apparently. I guess it's not as glam to wish to make a small dent in the world than a large crater. I get it, I'm just saying that it's always good to have something else in case Simon Cowell thinks you suck. If we focus don education as much as we focus on entertainment we'd be better off.

So I bet in person GW is a hell of a guy. I bet he's the life of the party. I'd like to sit down and have a drink with him and I bet we'd hit it off pretty well. I think that's how he got the job.

I'm off on a tangent. I think I'll stop for now.

Peace Little cowboys and cowgirls.

Long live rock n roll
