It Came From Marketing
February 3rd, 2008 at 8:14 pm by BrianI’m sorry Tom Petty but who programs the Super Bowl half-time? And why do they only seem to pick up a satellite signal stuck on 1989? My full moon fever broke around the time Nirvana came out.
Janet Jackson, Prince (though he owned last year), the Rolling Stones….jesus. Are they going to roll out Genesis or Whitesnake next year?
What’s left? Martha Quinn and Downtown Julie Brown doing play-by-play? Anyway, here I go again on my own.
In related news, Blue Moon bottled is better than the bottled version of Sam Adam’s White Ale.
However, in draught draft form the opposite is true.

And then Obama Christ puts on an ad saying he can “end the war and save the planet”. Smooth.
But before the grace of Obama go I. Obama be with you.
He can smile and melt the heart of Ahmadinejad. And convince China and India to curtail pollution. Or Robert Mugabe to stop destroying the farms. Or stop Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, and Ecuador to stop drilling for oil. *sigh*

I didn’t get to watch Petty because we were putting the kids to bed, but I recorded it. I will watch it later and then scold you for your nasty words.
I am pleased to see that the Giants lead with 8:42 to go. Will it hold up?

Don’t get me wrong. 15 years ago, Petty still rocked. Even the Traveling Wilburys stuff.
But when he’s singing American Girl now, he’s so old that I think he’s referring to Betsy Ross.

I can’t help you with that part of it, Bmac. But I am damn glad the Patsies went down in flames. NO PERFECT SEASON FOR YOU!!!!
What was up with Belichick leaving the field before the final gun? Did he get something on his precious sweatshirt?

Shit. I’m always down for a lost cause.

Hey Brian…here’s a news flash for ya.
Petty still rocks.
Don’t use that packaged-for-mass-consumption production today as any indication of Petty Free-Fallin’ from Rock God status. Do yourself a favor and catch his show when he comes to Tennessee this summer.
Me? I already have my tix to see him at The Hollywood Bowl in June.
He hasn’t lost a thing.

I expected a much better Super Bowl post from the blog that gives us Football Fridays.
Er, uh, never mind.
Tom Petty? Well, truth be told, I was in the loo, reading the latest Limbaugh Letter.
Great game though. Best Super Bowl I’ve seen in years.

Man I’m glad the Patriots gagged. Belicheck is an uber-douche!
I saw that Obama commercial. I was waiting for the ad to say “Fluffy bunnies & Unicorns approve this message”.
I was going to nitpick about the Nirvana/Tom Petty comment, but then I remembered that Tom Pettys “Full Moon Fever” came out the same year Nirvanas “Bleach” did. I’m not sure too many know about “Bleach” though.

Instead of Petty we could have had Britney lost in space somewhere on stage or perhaps Whinehouse doing a “line” while performing why not Snoop singing about his “bitches” the choices are mind blogging with todays act’s who would have thought Tom Petty was a safe choice Wow I feel old now

Oh…and bringing back Martha Quinn? Absolutely. I’m all for that.
February 4th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Brian,
Stop cryin’; Petty still rokks. Holmes: Belicheck left the field w/ :01 to go because… because… well, because he’s an asshole… in a short-sleeved, red, hooded sweatshirt, with the f*&&!% roof closed on the building (0.0% chance of inclement weather). An ASSHOLE I SAY! Nigel: Petty is going to squeeze in 7/21 for San Diego (between 7/20 – Phoenix & 7/23 – Irvine), bank on it. I’ll be there. And if you want more Martha Quinn, listen to Sirius channel 8 from 9a – 1p M-F (PST).
Was Alice Cooper’s snake harmed in the making of that Bridgestone commercial??!

Yiddish…
Petty did not announce a San Diego stop because there may not be a concert venue thanks to Coors pulling their sponsorship of the Ampitheater down there.
So unless that gets resolved, my only Petty concert this year will be at the Hollywood Bowl (already have tix)…not a bad place to see him (already done it).
February 4th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Oh…and bringing back Martha Quinn? Absolutely. I’m all for that.
Oh, its the return of the 30 year old crush!
February 4th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Cranky, I posted a pic of her over at my site…for 49 years old she isn’t bad. Yeah, I would.
But bring me Martha Quinn circa 1983 and uh…well, let’s just say it’s all over.
