Sheldon, I don't know if you're a football fan, but during yesterday's pre-game hype, Katie Couric briefly interviewed Obama. One tidbit that caught my ear was when he meant to say that legislators "have their constituents' best interests at heart", but instead said that they "have their best constituents' interests at heart", before quickly correcting himself. It was priceless.
I think it was kinda cool that the Who finished their superbowl halftime set with "Don't Get Fooled Again," in the midst of the myraid disappointments of Mr. Hope and Change. Ok, we don't KNOW if they meant anything by it, but at least it wasn't Momma's got a squeezebox Daddy never sleeps at night!
Awesome. But what on earth is John Williams playing? Some single note ostinatos--sorry, "ostinati"--or something? Pete's playing was all I could hear. I guess a nylon-stringed guitar hasn't a chance in hell of competing with Mr. Windmill!
Thanks Sheldon. Interestly, I had read that Townshend gives substantially to the Labour Party.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Can I assume you're a John Entwistle fan?
I'm a big Entwistle fan, Tom. Not surprised to hear that about Townshend.
ReplyDeleteTownshend's original version is okay, but nothing beats this cover version.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me there.
