Super bowl 2012

[ahka]

I don’t care about football and most of the sports but my husband and now my son are into it.  So, either I like it or not if there is a Super Bowl, the TV is on and some years even with a lot of company in our house.  I don’t usually watch it and not even interested in the so expected star commercials.  Last night wasn’t any different.  The only part that I watched was Madonna’s half time show.  My husband insisted that I watch it.

Mishka asked us who is Madonna? 
He got to see who she is.  Then he said that she was singing one song wrong because he saw it on YouTube how it is done correctly by some guys. :) We had a long argument that Madonna was the first one to sing that song and whoever is doing it on YouTube is only making out their own adaptation.

She looked like she was still in her 20^th only moving a lot slower.  She is over 50 now and it made me think, why celebrities  don’t want to grow up and develop more grown up art that takes them further ahead instead of making them stuck in the old-young?

I wished to hear a new song, see something new and unique, at least one piece out of several.  The show was great, spectacular-spectacular with old Madonna and her old songs where she wanted to look young.  I don't know, but there is something that bothers me about our culture of wanting to be frozen in one period of our lives and not being able to embrace all ages as they come.  Yes, we do grow and get old and even die, why fight this concept?  Who are we fooling?

The halftime show is a) designed for people who aren't really into the game, and b) intended to appeal to a broad range of people. After some famous fiascos of the past, they play it safe with artists who are basically past their prime (recent entries have included Paul McCartney and Prince).

Yes you are right, it sounded that Super Bowl organizers were trying to be conservative and making sure there would be no surprises. That's for sure...

чтобы оставаться вечно молодым, надо умереть молодым )))
Есть люди, которые красиво стареют, а есть, кто не может признать право природы на старение. И от этого становятся ужасными и смешными.
