Just so we're clear...

Super Bowl = yawn

Super Bowl Halftime Show with Prince + Marching Bands = Awesome.

It was live, not lip-synced, and Prince's guitar solo with the big flying sheet totally cast an intentional phallic image that was about 3 stories tall...and he'll get away with it too. Take that, Janet Jackson.

Plus, he started with Let's Go Crazy, moved to Rollin' on the River, then to All Along the Watchtower, then the Foo Fighters? Unexpected, but totally sweet. And how appropriate to end it with Purple Rain, what with the rain and all.

I could care less about the football or the commercials, but that was sweet.

I'm sure it'll be on Youtube within hours.

The commercials were so lame. I want my money back. I wish "Watchtower" would have lasted longer. There was too much confusion here... zing.
