Go Pats!

I am happy over the outcome of this year's superbly. The game was good and most of the ads during the show were entertaining. The Quizno's, Visa Checkcard, Diamond Nut and Ameriquest were my favorites. The Superbowl flavored commercial for "Robots" was cool as were the ones for "Batman Begins" and "War of the Worlds".

The one thing which gave me pause during the game was the half time show with Paul McCartney. It made me miss John more. This was strongest during "Get Back" when someone else was there with Paul playing the guitar licks created by Lennon. He would have been 66 this past October. So much has been written about what he would have or might have done if he had not been murdered. Paul's appearance shows part of what that might have been.

I got chills listening to the crowded stadium singing along with "Hey, Jude". No goddamned lip synching. Evidence of how powerful Beatles music is 40 years afterwards. How many people will be packing stadiums to sing along with "Pop it Like it's Hot" in 2046?!
