I didn’t have too much invested in this year’s game. I rarely do. I was pushing for the Bears since they were underdogs, had two recent UT alums (Vasher and Benson), and I think Peyton Manning is way overexposed. Apparently, neither team plays well in the rain. I’m no football aficionado, but Rex threw up some serious lame duck passes, even I might’ve been able to intercept a few of them.

The highlight was definitely the halftime show. Prince was great. The silhouetted image of the Purple One with his symbol guitar or as Defamer put it “a twenty foot demon schlong” certainly trumps Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction of a few years ago; the only time I wished that I was Justin Timberlake. The sound during Prince’s performance was terrible. His guitar was alternatingly too loud and too quiet. The Boy was impressed with the sound he got from the Stratocaster. He assumed it was the guitar itself that accounted for the genius sound coming out of it, a mistake of many a rock novice. He’ll learn. Time to break out some Prince and Hendrix to continue his education. I was pleasantly surprised that he chose to weave the Foo Fighter’s “Best of You” into the medley although I’m curious what made him choose it. I still regret missing the chance to see Prince in high school. I think I was supposed to go with Joe C. and he got sick. I can’t remember why I just didn’t go myself.

Update (2007.02.07): Duh. I thought of this right after I posted, but didn’t get a chance to update until now. Foo Fighters covered “Darling Nikki” on the tour before the last one. I think I have an mp3 somewhere and I know 101X has played it before. I’d still like to know if Dave Grohl or another member of the band actually talked to Prince about it though. That’d be cool.
