Super Bowl Ads
Paul McCartney's half time show was light years better than last's year's MTV produced fiasco, proving again that talent always outclasses hype. Which brings us to the commercials. Were the spot breaks better than the game? See this year's ads here. Check out USA Today's Ad Meter page, vote for your faves at the AOL Superbowl site.

Much as I love McCartney's music, I feel that his stage presence has become a bit stale. I don't think I can stand another round of "You were great, and you were great" after the "Hey Jude" sing-a-long. And couldn't he have scraped up anything more recent than "Live and Let Die"? When was that done, 1973??? I just hate to see him become a pure oldies act, good as his oldies are!

You liked Paul McCartnet halftime? I can dig it, but I see there are others who found it "boring". Even Daily Variety referred to it as merely "damage control". Well, aside from baser interests, it reflects the expectations of today's audiences to be MEGA stimulated! It's not enough to enjoy a good musical performance in itself. Same for sports...(not including the Super Bowl) especially Basketball. The new Toyota Center in Houston is an edifice of overwhelming technology. As the neon flashes and the videos sparkle; as the quadraphonic sub-woofers blast the wax from your cochlea and a gaggle of gorgeous girls wiggle their pom poms (among other things) you suddenly realize there's a GAME going on for God's sake. I don't know about you, but I missed the damn play! Guess I'm truly getting too old for this. Bob Green - Houston, TX
