    No, if it does not involve 12 guys on ice skates chasing a little frozen rubber puck it is simply not worth watching.

          Yep, I'm having a bit of a Superbowl party actually and cheering for the Seahawks (for all my friends in Seattle). Why? Dunno, just a great excuse to have a bunch of friends over, make a huge pot of chili and have a little too much to drink. David

            Well, the TV is on and my father-in-law is watching it, but I'm not paying it any attention. To be honest, until my wife enlightened me this morning, I didn't even know that today was the Superbowl, let alone who was playing! Of course, I'm getting into the spirit of things with a cold one - but any excuse will do ;)

                Yes. 1) National Anthem was horrible. Tricked up beyond recognition. 2) Stones were boring. 3) Steelers did what they have done all playoffs, beat the better team. E=mc2 -> BOOM

                      I loved Mick's comments about "We should have been here for the first one... But some things you just have to wait for." :laugh: There are not many entertainers left (at his level) that can pull fans that are vietnam vets to current. He's ugly as a dogs butt yet he's still at it. Pretty impressive really. At 60 to be rocking around on the worlds largest stage...{Go Mick! I don't like your music but I like your attitude.

                            I just mean being that active and super-sensational at his age. Not his personal attitude or anything. Don't even know the guy but when I'm his age I want to be that active for sure. Of course as I'm drug free and so is he ;););) (uh huh, right) I have better odds at it than he did so things are looking good. Now I just need to get things lined up for my own super bowl act... Wonder what that will be... I have to say that I think Painted Black is a great song though.

                              Yeah he is a super man alright but I think the world has seen enough. Time to give the young fella's a go I reakon. He lost the respect of a lot of people here in the mid 90's when they charged 3 or 4 times what you would pay to see any other big act on the premise that it was their last tour. A couple of years later and they were back with the same story. Whenever I see him I think of that episode of the Simpsons where Mr Burns goes through his weekly medical procedures and comes out glowwing green.

                                He is real ugly, and yet he still gets the hot model girl friends. The bastard! :) Geez... maybe I should start a rock band. It would have to have a cool name though. Like "Hex Dump". Or "Blue Screen of Death Metal".

                                  Are there only 6 players on each side in ice hockey (or 7 with the goalie)? I am surprised. The way they fill an ice rink with at least a dozen fights going on at once suggests a whole army of puck-chasers. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

                                      You do??? I was just glad to see a rock act that didn't LIP SYNC for god's sake... I know there are a buttload of young fellas who deserve a break. But I sure am not able to find em as easy as I did in the late 70s... Seeing the stones was the one good moment in the superbowl if you ask me. Of course, I don't follow football. And I live in Seattle. So I guess that's kinda understandable... The songs and act may be getting old. But I haven't tired of seein' em yet... The stones just can actually sing, act, PLAY and follow through better than any other group I've seen. Ever. Period. Plenty of their songs suck. But plenty have actually helped me through my life. Raising kids? - "You can't always get what you want" Married? - "Don't wanna be your slave" My point? Oh, yeah... a point... ummmmmmmmm, don't drink too much coffee in the mornin...? ...Steve
