Super Bowl

A sorta Super night


OK, it was mostly a super night for TV viewers. Here are a few of my views of the Super Bowl telecast; please add yours:

1) The top-notch pre-game music offered opposites. First, Queen Latifah had the spledid backing of a children's choir; then Carrie Underwood worked alone, for a strong version of the National Anthem.

2) Carrie, incidentally, looked rather terrific in white. That would have been Elvis' favorite outfit, once he lost 100 pounds or so.

Super Bowl thoughts


My Super Bowl view: It was definitely the best one ever.

It was tough, taut, muscular, kinetic. It was filled with action, excitement and stardom.

Also, the game was OK.

What I'm talking about, of course, is the Bruce Springsteen halftime show. In Super Bowl halftime standards, it was twice as good as the Rolling Stones, three times as good as Paul McCartney. Even if Janet Jackson's exposure had been doubled, Springsteen's show would have been better. Maybe.
