Feb. 06 2006 It did. Super Bowl XL sucked. And for those of you that are Roman Numeral illiterate, that's Super Bowl 40. First of all, the Steelers won. The Seahawks acted like they didn't even want to play. All I wanted was a good game, and what I got was a shitty POS game where Bill Coward's Steelers got what they've felt like they've been screwed out of for the last thousand years. There are two positives though. At least now maybe they'll shut up. Unfortunately their fans won't. I haven't met a Steelers fan that hasn't gotten on my nerves. Except maybe Dob, but that's because I haven't actually met him. The second is, maybe now Bettis will finally retire and get the fuck off of the field. I'm so fucking sick of him I could choke someone. Then again, I don't need a reason to choke someone. My biggest overall problem with the Super Bowl was the half time show. The Rolling Stones. When the hell did they become legends? Ladies and assholes, I'm a rock and roll fan. I love rock. I even appreciate what the Stones have done for rock music. But holy shit, RETIRE ALREADY! You had your time, and that time was 30 years ago. Watching the half time show with the Rolling Stones playing was like watching a doctor chop my dick off with no anesthesia. All pain, no pleasure. The Rolling Stones are to Rock and Roll, what dinosaurs were to the evolution of man. Sure they had their time in the beginning, but now they belong in a museum. They started the show with a song that seemed to have more lyrics when I first heard it, but I think Mick Jagger forgot them in his old age. The second song I can't say I've heard, but the last song, of course was "Satisfaction". It sounded like a shitty cover band was doing it. Nevermind the song was first released a year before the first Super Bowl. Jesus they're old. And I'm fair all the way around. AC/DC is the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Again, no argument is needed, because I'm right. But they're getting old, and they're getting near their hang up point. A couple years ago they signed a new record deal. I thought to myself, "why?!" I love AC/DC, but they're getting to the point where a new album is coming up and to me, maybe it should be one of their last. Maybe even their last. I'd love for them to continue, but they're getting to the point where it's just over. Angus is even going bald for crying out loud. So Rolling Stones, take note. Give it up. Please, for the love of humanity, give it up. Even their show's production was horrible. Whoever did their sound needs to be shot in the face. More than once. There was a drummer, two guitarists, a bass player, a keyboardist, and a singer. The only thing audible was the lead guitar, the singer, and the snare and bass drums. And those all went off and on throughout. The best part of the show though, was the lighting. Around the mouth shaped stage was a track of light, and towards the end of the three songs the lights changed to be chaser lights, and they were all shades of the rainbow. Yeah, it was very gay. I couldn't have set that up any better. I hate the Rolling Stones, and you should too. |
