Miami Rain

Hey Soul Mates,
you, probably like me, slogged through the Super Bowl. At least Prince showed up. We were wondering if he'd even take the stage and risk electrocution or slipping on that bum hip in the Florida torrent. Thankfully, Mr. Nelson appeared in Dolphin colors no less to rock the house with a mix of his most indelible songs (Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy) and a choice covers (CCR, Dylan, Foos). He looked great, sounded fantastic with a little help from the FAMU marching band.

As usual, the game didn't live up to any of the hype. Bryan and I were in the car on the way back from a production meeting when the game started. So we heard Marv Albert's booming call of the opening kickoff which was returned for a touchdown by the Bears' sensational rookie, Devin Hester. The TV announcers were dull, the fans looked unhappy in the rain. It was easy to ignore the bad commercials too. I was disappointed that the rumoured Beatles/iPod ad didn't appear.
Oh well. Maybe next year.

Love, Power, Peace
