Obama's "Bill Pullman" Moment

"It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America."

Not one President, except for fictional ones, has sent shivers down my spine. When I heard this clip this morning on the radio I cried tears of joy because change has defiently come to the United States of America.

Another Lame Superbowl 1/2 time show

Last night I was watching "classic" VH1 and a Bruce Springstein concert was on; and I thought to myself... "gee... I hope he doesn't play the halftime show this year becuase that could be almost as lame as the Tom Petty one last year."

Aparently I jinxed myself. Earlier this morning NBC announced that "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at the 2009 Super Bowl halftime show in Tampa, Fla."

-big sigh-

Now... while I do love "The Boss" and he imbodies the "all-american" hard working middle class... could we PLEASE PLEASE PLESE get a rock-n-roll band that isn't on Medicaid?
Ever since 2004 when MTV lost the rights to produce any further half-time shows, it has been one geratic rock-n-roll band after another. Lets recap:
2005 - Paul McCartney
2006 - The Rolling Stones
2007 - Prince
2008 - Tom Petty
2009 - Bruce Springsteen

*All Produced by Don Mischer Productions andWhite Cherry Entertainment*

Can we please go abck to the way things were? Becuase of MTV's lack of judgement in 2004, we have all take a 20 yr backstep in halftime shows. In the 80's they were one band and LAME. In the last half of the 2000's, they are one band and LAME.

Please help.. someone...
