srah's Super Bowl halftime update
Who are you cheering for? I'm rooting for FedEx myself. Ah, that Burt Reynolds!
Oh... there's a football game on? Well, if I have to pick a team, I'll cheer for Philadelphia. I base this decision on absolutely no knowledge of professional football and the conviction that there's something creepy about Tom Brady.
Paul McCartney's halftime show is making me uncomfortable. I don't know what it is, but I feel very uneasy and on edge. It's like watching someone you know on stage - you want them to do very well, but there's this terrifying feeling that they will fail and you won't know what to say to them.
Which is odd, because I don't really envision having this confrontation with Sir Paul.
It was a lot easier when he did "Live and Let Die." This is probably because he was the most talented member of Wings and can carry their songs on his own. When he was singing Beatles songs, all I could think of was the voices and stage presences that were missing. That and he had a really crappy song selection: "Drive My Car" (which I hate) and "Get Back." They aren't exactly the biggest crowd-pleasers, but maybe Michael Jackson still owns all the big hits.
Well, it was pulled off without incident. No wardrobe malfunctions, but rather bland overall. Thanks, FCC, for making the whole world a little more boring.
Halftime's over - back to the main event...
