Holy crap. Do the Rolling Stones sound like this every night they play? And they have the audacity to charge between $60 and $215? I can pay ten bucks and hear a cover band that sounds better. Ugh. I’d be pissed if I shelled out thousands of dollars to go to a football game with terrible music. At least Janet Jackson showed booby. ---

Funny, I was just about to post, “BEST SB HALFTIME SHOW EVER!” Go figure. ---

I didn’t hear any of it. I had to mute it as it was so awful. ---

I, for one, am just glad there weren’t any “wardrobe malfunctions.” The last thing I wanna see is a wrinkled Mick Jagger willy looking like a turkey’s wattle while I eat dinner. ---

I loved 'em. They started a little slow, but pulled it out in the stretch. I know very few under-30 people who have the energy to do what Mick does. And Bill Wyman is freeking 70 this year. Ya gotta hand it to 'em. ---

On one hand, the Stones sucked. Plain and simple. On the other hand, I’m old enough to remember Super Bowl 5, when the entire halftime show was Anita Bryant singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” So, as Mick shook his flabby arms, I thought to myself, “It could be worse, it could be worse, it could be worse…” ---
