Super Bowl Halftime show

Well, what a pleasant surprise. The Super Bowl was kind of good this year. The Eagles made a last ditch effort to win, but McNabb threw an interception with 9 seconds left on the clock. I was routing for them. Oh well. It was a good game nonetheless.

That half-time show was actually kind of good too. They only had Paul McCartney doing three or four of his songs. This was nice for two reasons: 1. He was doing it live. 2. There wasn't 20 different pop asshats up there singing a melody of their songs. Both of these were a pleasant surprise. Trying to find performers doing stuff live on TV is like finding a knowledgeable sales person at Best Buy. It's freaking rare. On top of being live, he did full versions of his songs, not a melody of 30 second clips of his collective hits.

It was a good change of pace for sure. While Paul is an old timer to me, I still enjoyed his music. Maybe next time they can get Dave Mathews Band :D
