Page 300: This And That

This And That

- Bruce Springsteen's halftime show? It was good, but not Prince good. I thought "Glory Days" was a great choice for the closer, but that fake referee coming out and calling a penalty for delay of game? Super cheesy. Come on Bruce, you're one of the biggest icons in rock and roll, you don't need to resort to gimmicks to entertain people.

- I finally heard the new U2 song, "Get On Your Boots," this morning, and... I don't know. Maybe it will grow on me, but my first thought was that it is pretty meh. If you've been living under a rock for the past week like I have, you can hear it for yourself at U2.com.

- The first month of 2009 is in the books, and I have yet to see a show. Ouch. Granted I've been sick for the past two weeks, but I still feel pretty lame. This will need to be corrected, and soon.

- I meant to post this song last fall, when that State Farm ad was running every Sunday during football season, but I never got around to it. But I had pretty much the most awesome Sunday ever yesterday (even though the Cardinals lost, but what a game!), so I woke up with this song in my head. Enjoy!
