Purple Rain

Super Music Bowl?

Ah, the Super Bowl. always one of my favorite days of the year... football, family, friends, drinks, food, and of course hilarious commericals. so wheres the music connection? Oh, its there.

In my opinion there has not been an amazing halftime show since Janet and Justin stripped down. but thats just me. Come on, Paul McCartney? Nothing wrong there, but with all the hype going on with the Super Bowl, who wants to watch a relaxing half-time show? I want lights! loud noises! explosions! rain?
Ill admit, Im a bit of a closet Prince fan, so I (unlike almost everyone else in my house) liked the halftime performance a little bit more then most. I think that Prince's performance in the pouring rain was better then previous very dissapointing performances (most dissapointing halftime show: Rolling Stones) but still does not measure up to the past blow out performances of artists such as Aerosmith, Justin Timberlake, Gloria Estafan, the Blues Brothers and even U2

Even better then the halftime show? Billy Joel singing the national anthem. For the entire day my house was a screaming mess of people --this was the only thing that made everyone silent, mainly because my mother started threatening everyone. But his performance was fantastic, and despite showing his age he proved he can still sing and exhibit his piano playing abilites.
