The wooses at the network beeped out "cock" and a few other words, but the Rolling Stones showed the whole world what rock n' roll is all about. Even with the floppy underarms, Mick looked amazing. I want that diamond belt he had on. Mick's best joke: "We could have done this one at Super Bowl One" as he launched into "Satisfaction."
The Fed Ex ad was funny -- the favorite of my 17 year-old nephews too. So glad I can turn the stupid game off now and watch the commercials online.
Sure, the Stones showed the world what rock 'n' roll is all about in the 21st century: selling out your rock soul to appear at the biggest marketing orgasm of the year. Then again, the Stones sold out long, long ago: to Jovan in '81, and Budweiser and so many others since then.
My son and his friend banging on their guitars in the basement have more rock spirit than the Stones have shown in a long, long time.
