Prince Makes Everything Better

I'm surprised this is Headless Ponch's first Prince topic. Anyways, Prince played rocked the hell out of the Super Bowl halftime show.

At first, I thought "Let's Go Crazy" had some sound issues, but it obviously got resolved. He tore through a ten minute set which included "Baby I'm A Star", "Purple Rain", and covers of Jimi Hendrix and Foo Fighters. Yeah, definitely a wtf... at first.

Prince defiantly showed why everything needs more Prince when he did "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters. Originally, this song is all Vh1-ed up, leaning towards a rebellious secretary crowd. But when Prince does it, it sounded like a classic out of his back catalog. Everything really needs more Prince. Imagine FutureSex/LoveSounds with more Prince? Now we are talking about a great album.

"Purple Rain" had a ridiculous solo that was impossible not to air guitar to. Plus, it was raining adding a ironic effect.

As for the game, we got the bad Rex. And what's up with abandoning a successful running game with Thomas Jones? It seemed like everytime he got a carry he moved the chains. The last half was just an overall snoozefest, with the Bears offense doing the same repetitive scheme.

1st - 1st down with Thomas Jones
2nd - 5 to 10 yard Completion, building a drive
3rd - Hold on a second, isn't Rex Grossman your quarterback? Interception!

And what an anticlimatic way for Peyton to get his first ring?
