Paul McCartney

Mark, apparently being a Cialis user was though...

And this is new? Ditka has been shilling Levitra on sundays all season. There are a lot of 40-60 year old football fans, too. Advertisers aren't dumb enough to spend the money on superbowl commercial time if there wasn't great evidence that their target demographic would be watching.

For every Cialis mention, there were plenty of monkey commercials, Cedric the Entertainer for Bud Light, and trailers for The Longest Yard remake. With 90 gajillion people watching, the 18-35 male isn't the only demographic to pander to.

Man who cares? Just as I don't know whether to be offended more by Janet Jackson's right being almost entirely exposed in a Super Bowl halftime show or that a right was almost entirely exposed and it belonged to Janet Jackson, I frankly could give a damn less. Unless there is 15 minutes of a lesbian orgy hottub scene being shown at halftime I dont care.

The game was great, the halftime show OR the commercials.

[baseline bum]

Personally, I'd rather they just talked about the game at halftime. I'm glad they got someone with musical talent to do the show this year, bu t Paul wasn't nearly as good as U2 in 2002.

[mattyc]

I thought it was a terrific half time show compared to other years.

Paul can flat out entertain.

[ididnotnothat]

I thought the game sucked as well.

Put on a great halftime show.

I thought it was GREAT!!!

The Super Bowl makes all performers lip sync, including the National Anthem. The reason is that with the accoustics, the performers can not keep time because of the delay. The last time a halftime performer refused to lip sync was the Backstreet Boys, and they were horrible because of the feedback and they were totally off key.


Paul was great. Live and Let Die with the fireworks was the best song. He should have done some earlier songs that rocked more than the Baby you can drive my Car song which was not one of the best songs anyway.

Manny is correct...i watch the game and thats it, i could care less if Buck Owens, Paul McCartney, whoever is out there. and the commercials? i don't care about them one bit.
being a football fan, all i ask is that its a good game and the rest can all go to for all i care.

paul was soooo boring... he can sing, but when you are on stage you need more.. just like when you go to a concert of a group you like... you don't want them to just sit on their ass all night..that is lame... paul was lame!

[Clandestino]

also, i guess paul singing about the "california grass" was appropriate too.. he may as well sang Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...

[CommanderMcBragg]

Paul's show was was a class act.

Isn't that what America wants now?

[Useruser666]

The halftime show sucked. The Beatles are way overrated. And no, I don't want teen pop stars either.

[Shelly]

I didn't watch the game, the halftime show, or the commercials.

Overrated????

Yes, and pussy is overrated too.

[CommanderMcBragg]

The Beatles overrated? You can sure tell there is generation gap!!

[SpursWoman]

Overrated????

Yes, and pussy is overrated too.

I can't believe you of all people would compare Paul McCartney to pussy, Jim.


I'm not a Beatles fan, either. I hold them entirely responsible for the proliferation of boy bands over the last few decades.

[Useruser666]

Overrated????

Yes, and pussy is overrated too.

Are you saying the Beatles are as good as pussy Jim? I sincerely hope not.

The Beatles overrated? You can sure tell there is generation gap!!

There is no generation gap McBragg. I like a lot of music, but the halftime show was lame and the Beatles ARE overrated. And I do like some of there songs.

[Clandestino]

even you loved the beatles...this was only paul... and a boring as 62 year old paul at that.. he just stood there playing the guitar..then sat down and played the piano... BORING!!!

he thought he was in the recording studio or some .. when you are on stage in front of millions you have to bring something else!

[CommanderMcBragg]

The Beatles are NOT overrated and if they are than all these hip-hoppers are grotesquely overrated.
The majority of them can't even play an instrument.

Does a musician need to resort to stage theatrics and humping and grinding women to make them more entertaining?
So I guess the concert business would go under if bands performed their music instead of a "show"?

If you can't enjoy the music with your eyes closed then you are not listening but 'watching" the music.

McBragg, you don't have to flip out. I'm sure your parents would have said, "Who are those 4 boys dancing around like that all crazy! They should get a hair cut! Whippersnappers!"


Oh, and I was watching the halftime show. If I wanted to just listen to it I would have just turned the radio on.
Just because you think the Beatles were God's gift to music doesn't mean they were, or that everyone agrees with you. They were the cutting edge "Backstreet Boys" of their day. They did many of the same social/moral envelope pushing things that young musicians do today. I don't go for glitz and glamour. I just thought that other than those cool "ramp projection TVs" there wasn't that much to the halftime show.

I don't even think that a live musical performance is always the best act to have play. I wonder if there could be something more like the olympic games. There is more than just listening to music at the halftime show. It should be as much a visual production as audio, if not more so.

I am not sure, I do not think I have seen millions of people screaming at pussy before, so the Beatles might be better than pussy.

Let's examine this a bit closer.

A. Has pussy been on the Ed Sullivan show?

No, the Beatles have. Beatles 1 Pussy 0

B. Has pussy had 30 # 1 songs?

No, the Beatles have. Beatles 2 Pussy 0

C. Has pussy influenced millions of young men?

Yes, Beatles 3 Pussy 1

D. Has pussy been imitated over and over?

Well, yes, but as with the Beatles, they did a lousy job. Beatles 4 Pussy 2

E. Does Pussy look better with hair on it?

No, Beatles 5 Pussy 2

Case closed, Beatles win.

Jim, I never thought you could be a bigger homer of anything more than Steve Francis, but I have been proven wrong. Tell me you would "hit" a 62 year-old man over a pussy and I'll poke myself in the eye.

The question about who has influenced young men, pussy should outscore the Beatles by about 1 billion to 1. Pussy has influenced more musicians than the Beatles have and was also a major driving force behind their song writing and success.
