Super Sunday, Motown Style

In hopes of remembering whatever I was going to write on myspace, I'll use the same title and hope that it comes back to me. I don't think it will, but if it's important, I'll remember it later. In the meantime, enjoy my rambling thoughts.

Last night, I introduced another person to the Redford. It's a fun time and puts a new twist on old films. And the proceeds go toward the historic preservation and renovation of the building. ;) Can't beat that, either. Dr. Strangelove was funny too, but not knowing anything about it, I had no idea what to expect. My dad mentioned how he didn't care for the movie, but if he saw it upon its release, he was fresh back from the War, and probably didn't (or couldn't) find the raw political humor in it. In the context of the Iraq mess and Georgie's agenda, it's hilarious and strangely accurate. "You can't behave like that in here, this is the War room." HAHA, Can't you just see the croonies in Washington kicking each other's asses in the Pentagon. I'd pay to see that.

The Rolling Stones have the halftime show. I am disappointed in this choice by the NFL planning committee. To everyone else, they are rock gods that deserve and have earned a spot in the Superbowl halftime; to this native Detroiter, they are the bloody British who are low on the list of probable acts to book in this coveted time slot. When the game was in New Orleans the year the Pack played down there, I believe it was jazz. If the Superbowl goes to Nashville, do you think it will be anything but country? No. It is in Detroit, and we get the Stones. It is wrong and Detroit got ripped off. We are a city whose history thrives on music. I'm not talking about the Marshall's, Bob's, and Matt's of the modern era, I'm talking about the hayday of the city. A Stevie Wonder pre-game and Aretha Franklin national anthem (Lord help us all) does not contribute a large enough picture of the Motown greats. Most of the acts are still together and preforming (Four Tops, Temps, Martha Reeves, etc etc), to not include them in the city's shining moment is a horrendous rip-off. But it should be better than Sir Paul's medley of dull last year and free of any wardrobe malfunctions. Although I must say, I am watching the game with the same people this year as I did when Justin Timberflake pulled his stunt. Anything is possible.

I'm glad I skipped working the Kid Rock concerts this weekend downtown. Bars with a live band that kinda suck aren't so great and make me somewhat discombobulated, but the company was exceptional. Thank you. And there was some Jack quality shown, so you don't have to worry about it. Again, I apologize for any social retardedness that you may have picked up on, no poor intentions. Meanwhile, I'll look forward to the next time. I also must apologize for away messages being put on around 3:30 am. The last time I saw that time of day, I was waking up to go work inventory, not go to bed. That's amazing, you get major props. As you do for keeping up with Bauer, my car sensed someone was following it and went into CTU mode.

The past couple weeks I have been referred to as the ultmighty and a savior. It's a lot to live up too. I'll try my best to keep up.

Enjoy the game. Go Steelers!
