    When I was growing up, my parents listened to music of the 40s and 50s and it was not terribly interesting. Watching the first few seconds of the Who and their old man voices barely able to belt out . . . <sigh>

    I've really given up on superbowl shows. I might as well watch "Girls Gone Wild" commercials . . . or better yet, chatting at PriusChat about what a lame superbowl show we're not watching on TV.

    Bob, only losers sit on PriusChat during the Super Bowl halftime.

    Oh, game's about to start!

    And yea, after the wardrobe malfunction the NFL has struggled with the half-time shows. They want good music (as opposed to Jonas Brothers kinda pop crap), but can't risk any more controversy. So we get well known come-back bands who, at worst, will have a heart attack on stage but won't reveal their gonads.

    I want my flooring in my house to be one of those stage things they played on. It was cool.

    Ain't it sad to see rockers grow old?

    Sorry, missed the flooring. Might have been the best part. Don't know, since I turned it off as soon as I heard them croak out the first few bars of pinball wizard. sorry to be cynical, but that was a silly programming choice.

    Let's not forget last year when Bruce Springstein slid across the stage and nailed the camera with his crotch. Thank goodness it was not a 3D show. :eek:

    Well it looks like the TDI Superbowl commercial has a fairly sarcastic view of "the green police." Nothing like erecting a straw man to knock it down.

    'Naw 'Leans is playin' way above their pay grade.

    At least they didn't sing "My Generation"....they'd have to change the lyrics. :rolleyes:

    The best part was being able to skip all 4,362 commercials. I sure like that FF button. :) It was a good game, too. That 'fair catch' rule is kinda wimpy, though.

    I have to admit I have never been a fan of the Who but they were better than I expected. They sure did look old though. Next year maybe they will do a tribute to singers who actually died from the drugs they induced, not just rockers who look even older than they are.

    Was the Bud light commercial 'asteroid' a satire on AGW? Very funny
