Don't get me wrong, here, I really enjoy Paul McCartney's work -- both with Wings and the Beatles. However, I don't think he was the right choice for a football game. C'mon, I want something a little manlier and less poppy. Something to get everyone pumped up for the game, you know? The superbowl has become pussified. Every superbowl in my lifetime has been a pretty big snoozefest (I'm only 19 though). To me, a lot of the magic and glory of more distant superbowls is gone. Maybe I'm wrong, though. I've only ever seen highlights.
The superbowl now, though, feels like one big corporate wankfest and has little to do with football.
