And I, too, waited for the game to start to pee.<br />That last play by Seattle will go down in NFL history as the biggest WTF ever.<br /><br />injaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-18503312228055745532015-02-05T17:42:12.611-05:002015-02-05T17:42:12.611-05:00I get on people who lip sync because I still have ...I get on people who lip sync because I still have the old fashioned belief that if you can't sing, then don't go on tour, just stay home and make records.<br /><br />I wouldn't attend a show, no matter how big, if I knew the artist was lip syncing, and this is just one big show. The Stones didn't lip sync. Springsteen and Tom Petty didn't lip sync. If you're a singer, sing your songs, or else stop wasting everyone's time, who could just play the record.<br /><br />The deeper problem is that people with marginal talent are becoming pop stars, on account of their look. So when it's time to play live, the talent gap shows.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-39491932548585578282015-02-05T15:30:08.601-05:002015-02-05T15:30:08.601-05:00Enjoyed following the game with you on SB Sunday. ...Enjoyed following the game with you on SB Sunday. I saw a ton of tweets about that sad Nationwide commercial. I was talking w/the hubs about it the other day because I honestly think the premise was slightly off. The big line at the end was about how "accidents" are a big cause of deaths in children. T pointed out that it was meant to be directed at neglectful behavior, but the way I took it was more, "An accident could happen anytime, no matter how good a parent you are, so better get insured." Yikes. I'd be a worry-wort of a parent anyway, but that type of stat would just make me feel guilty about all the stuff I couldn't control. Blech.<br /><br />I thought Katy Perry did okay. I don't quite get why you (or others) got on her case about lip syncing--I'd think for that big of a LIVE televised event (no screw-ups allowed), it'd just be smart to have the track going. I mean, what the heck would they do if she was singing & her mic quit working? No time to do anything else. I had a problem w/people getting onto Beyonce for the inauguration ceremony a while back, too. Too big of a deal to just rely on live stuff working right. But that's just me.<br /><br />We were rooting for Seattle, too. I was so ready for Brady to suck it after that amazing catch, and then, bam. *sigh* Ah, well. Maybe the 'Boys will make it further next year.

Their commercial provides the opposite of comic relief. On such a Sunday, seriousness IS a relief.Mary Annnoreply@blogger.com
