MORE HALF TIME
struck a nerve there with my blog on the half time show
thanks for the comments sent via email, comments on this blog,
facebook and twitter

the good thing about doing a blog is that its yours and you can
give your opinion on topics or in this case events

i realize that the people who read this blog live in most of the states
in the united states and several foreign countries
so they will all never agree with my opinions
there is great diversity  in religious views, political views, social views
and obvious musical views

i always try to stay away from the political and religious views as
not to offend many of the readers of this blog
well sometimes my views slip through some its hard not to

i respect other opinions but dont have to agree with them

some of my best friends have opposite views on these things
above but we still get along

i have gone back and watched the madonna half time show several
times as i had dvred it
i still stand by my original assessment
she has a  beautiful voice when you can hear it
she is a good choreographer which showed on this half time show
she seemed pensive and stiff and not flexible-maybe she has a ham string
pull or a high ankle strain or just plain ole rheumatism
she did stumble once
she is over 50 and yes its amazing that she can do all of this
and that she is in great shape for her age
but she has to be viewed like someone whos 25 years old as she
was on the greatest stage where the greatest numbers were watching
live
ive always liked madonna and her independent spirit
but
i was expecting more from her that night

she was responsible for the whole show though
the middle finger and the four letter word that was said was her
responsibility
it cast a shadow on the half time show no mater how good the show was

those two things the middle finger and the 4 letter word dont offend me
i have been known to use both before

but its not acceptable to do this at the half time show of the super bowl

its on her

they need a half time show that appeals to the under 40 age group
i realize thats what madonna was trying to do
in my opinion she almost pulled it off

in the state of texas football is god
to have a football stadium full of fans especially the revered cotton bowl
at the texas state fair come to not watch the game but the half time show
then have them mostly all leave after the bands perform

now thats amazing

those bands are the best bands ive ever seen
and ive watched a lot of bands good ones play at half time
but to watch these two bands and watch the choreography and the
precision and the quality of music
that was and is appreciated by those fans and fans across the us
and the world
now thats amazing

i would not travel and pay to watch madonna do this half time show
or to do a concert
but
i would travel and pay to watch the grambling/prairie view am bands
compete and preform at half time or in a show

just sayin

HALF TIME SHOW
always thought the half time show was designed to energize and
entertain the fans at the half time
gosh if they are going to take 31 minutes for the show at least make
it a good one

thought about writing a letter to roger goodell the head of the nfl to
please get us a half time show that everyone will be talking about
the next day about how good it was and not about what body part
malfunctioned during the show
sunday it was the finger and some worn out bodies

they need to quit using entertainers that are at the twilight of their careers
loved the beetles in their day, loved mick and his guys and loved watching
the energy from madonna is years past
guess she didnt take her geritol or 5 hour energy before she performed

here is  a story of a half time show my family and i went to once
it was the best half time show that i have ever seen

when my youngest son was in middle school he played in the band
and was at that time interested in the band
so we took him and two of his friends to the cotton bowl one year
to watch the half time show there at a game being played during
the texas state fair
no it was not texas vs oklahoma
thats all about football

this game was grambling vs prairie view am
these are two majority black schools one from louisina and
the other from texas
(my younger son had done a interview the year before with
the legendary grambing football coach eddie robinson)

this was not all about football but was all about the bands
the cotton bowl was full that day when the game started
there was people actually sitting and standing to squeeze
in to see the show

think 60000+ fans at a concert
all getting excited and energized during the first half of
football getting ready for the main event the half time show
this would be pure entertainment that was
fast paced exciting and energizing

it was a true battle of the bands
at a level i had not seen before

the crowd went crazy during the half time show
those bands marching dancing moving playing energized music
got your heart rate up and got you up out of your seat
now thats how a half time show is suppose to be

dear roger please call the presidents of those two universities and ask
that their two bands provide the half time show next year
they wont need geritol to preform
and the fans wont care about those commercials

also after the half time show at that game
after the game restarted at the 2nd half most of the fans left
as they had come like us only for the half time show
we also left early

roger get it right next year please

MEALS ON WHEELS
yesterday i started my delivery of meals on wheels to seniors
in the area where i live
this is a good program that spends its money well
it uses volunteers to deliver the meals to the seniors

the seniors are appreciative as you deliver the meals
for some it may be the only human contact of the day
am sure they look forward to the interactions

also thought after seeing the numbers that there are
probably a lot of seniors who qualify for these meals
who havent been identified

my mom used these meals every day
it helped insure she was getting a well balanced diet
and gave another person for her to interact with every day

meals on wheels
hope those people we elect dont try to knock the wheels off
this program
