and I don't even like football...

How did this happen? I began watching Super Bowl XLIII for the commercials and figured I watch the half-time show and be done; but,noooo... I watched the entire thing!

Great game! I was sorta pulling for the Arizona Cardinals as the underdogs...I figured the Pittsburgh Steelers would run over them. Steeler James Harrison's 100 yard touchdown got my blood pumping and I was hooked.

Then the Cardinals looked like they were going to pull it off, and Steeler Santonio Holmes kept those toes down after catching a Roethlisberger bullet.

The best part of the game was than no one gave up. Both teams kept fighting until the very end. The 27-23 win over the Cardinals by the Steelers was one exciting game; maybe I'll become a football fan yet.

And the half-time show was fabulous; Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were rocking!

This Bowl will go down in history and I might be watching more football next year. Now if the Tennessee Titans can only get their act together...

The Eagles concert

Saw the Eagles in concert last Thursday. Still conflicted about it. The sound and harmony was outstanding, I sang along with all my favorites, and also enjoyed all their new "Out of Eden" tour music. I had a great time with my friends and the evening was very, very nice. Joe Walsh is my new hero. He can play those guitars! However, the entire "show" was so, so organized and choreographed that I felt a little uncomfortable with their lack of enthusiasm; it was like the "Stepford Eagles" and I felt they were just doing their job, getting it done with efficiency, and then clocking out and going home. I know they are a laid back band, and I know we haven't gotten any younger; but the whole thing was just too rehearsed for my tastes. Maybe I'm just comparing the joy and energy put forth by Bruce Springsteen when I saw him in concert last month, and I was expecting the same "concert feeling." But whatever I was looking for...I left with a peaceful, but uneasy feeling about the concert.
