Did anybody catch the Ford commercial with Yosemite Sam and somebody singing "Down Home Girl"? |

It would have sucked if they attempted a 'soul' tune. Instead, they ripped the joint! 
The only thing that I'm not happy with was my VCR's performance in recording the event. It's all fucked up.
Great, driving performance. Very pleased with it. |

really? I would imagine that, like us, even though the commentators were different from the US TV versions, you would have got the same sound and pictures as everyone else. They didnt 'bleep' anything out, the words were just silenced |

ABC goes to tape delay for Stones show
DAVID BAUDERAssociated PressNEW YORK -
They may not have flashed any body parts - except for Mick Jagger's well-toned stomach - but the Rolling Stones made ABC glad it imposed a five-second tape delay on the Super Bowl halftime show.
Two sexually explicit lyrics were excised from the rock legends' performance Sunday. The only song to avoid the editor was "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," a 41-year-old song about sexual frustration.
In "Start Me Up," ABC's editors silenced one word, a reference to a woman's sexual sway over a dead man. The lyrics for "Rough Justice" included a synonym for rooster that the network also deemed worth cutting out.
It was the first time a network had imposed a five-second tape delay on the Super Bowl, a sensitivity that no doubt reflects a lingering reaction to Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction two years ago.
The Stones probably didn't mind, either. It brought a little rock 'n' roll danger to the ultimate "safe" gig and - if they're lucky - it distracted attention from their mediocre show.
Jagger, at age 62, is still a force of nature, strutting and dancing across a stage designed as a replica of their famed wagging tongue logo. The band's performance felt ragged - they seemed just warming up during the opening "Start Me Up," and a three-song set affords no such luxury.
The Stones chose three tough rockers, including the best song from their well-received recent album and one of their most enduring hits.
"Here's one we could have done at Super Bowl I," Jagger wryly said in introducing "Satisfaction."
It was their best, most energetic effort, and ended with Jagger blowing a kiss to the audience. But unlike U2's performance four years ago at the Super Bowl, their set was not an example of a band at its peak rising to the majesty of the event.
Some in Detroit felt the city's rich musical history was snubbed when the Stones were selected, even if the Super Bowl had Motown-themed halftime shows twice in the past 25 years. This year's Motown tribute came before the game.
Stevie Wonder was the centerpiece, singing a medley of his hits with the help of John Legend, Joss Stone and India.Arie.
It was a typical monument to excess, with a stage more crowded than a train station at rush hour, and was marred by microphones that occasionally malfunctioned. Brightly clad dancers hoofed it incongruously when Wonder sang a portion of his angry ghetto tale "Livin' for the City," at one point pretending to fight each other.
Most importantly, the medley format did a disservice to the musicians. They rushed through the songs as if at a fast-food service line. With hours of meaningless pregame hoopla, couldn't they be given five minutes more to finish a few songs?
The National Anthem offered a particularly odd partnership - Aaron Neville and Dr. John (in a tribute to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans) with Detroit favorite Aretha Franklin. Neville sang half of the song in his feathery-soft voice, then was never heard from again when Franklin blew the dome's roof off.
She barely needed a microphone.

My dear Hawks lost but the Stones put on a great set.
I agree that Keith looked tired - perhaps he had a bit of fun last night? Mick was great, as was Charlie, but the performance belonged to Mr. Ron Wood! The guy smoked some serious licks. He carried Keith until Kieth finally woke up midway through Satisfaction - the last 90 seconds were some great Keith.
All in all, a good day for Stones fans!
A sad day for Seattle... |

Mick and Charlie still have the music in them, alive and well. Keith and Ronnie have significantly less effort, desire, and enjoyment. |

Great stuff. I nearly fell off my chair when Ronnie's 1st solo on SMU came on. How loud was that! The stage was truly great. Pretty much typical choice of songs, but good on them for doing a new one.
Keith didnt look tired. He looked "re-animated". 1 thing though - i heard backing singers, but didnt see them. Whats with that.
The Motown thing was a hilarious disaster. Too many cooks, man.
Now, 1 last thing. How can you burger eating, country invading, fellow mail employee shooting Yanks enjoy this game? Its so frikking boring! Man, the "2 minute" warning dragged on for 25 bloody minutes. Why not just dump the game, and have the 1/2 time spectacular. I'd rather watch the lingerie bowl. I aint kidding, this is crap stuff. Aussie Rules, from simply a spectator sport, is 1000 times better. No faggot time outs. No faggot helmets. No faggot padding. Just burly Aussie boys charging into each other, jumping on each other backs, and...
...wow! I just made Aussies Rules sound like Brokeback Mountain! |
