Well, the Games are over. My better half and I stayed up to watch the show at the end... I was very pleased to see 2 original Pink Floyd members come together for an awesome performance! I was looking forward to some David Bowie as well, but that was a tease with the "Fashion" song. But that was cool nonetheless. David Bowie has alot of good stuff IMO, minus the Ziggy and minus the Queen.. He reminds me of Sting in some regards. Anyway...
Now to what really pissed me off. Our national broadcast company, NBC, decided to switch to commercial when The Who performed some songs, after the tease performance singing a WHO song by non-band members just prior. I just heard about it on the local news on my way home from work today.
Ah... All the world is a stage, and some are pisst at the roadcrew (NBC).
Adding insult to injury, NBC cut to some stupid drama that made as much sense as a screen door in the side of a submarine. All-in-all, their Olympics coverage just plain sucked! Way too much time spent on pointless interviews and useless yammering by Bob Costas, Ryan Seacrest and othersm and not enough time spent on actual competition. It worse this time around than in Beijing.
However, I will say the closing ceremony, that is, the part that we actually saw, was great. I'm not really up on current rock groups, so many of the acts were unknown to me, but I will say I enjoyed them all, not to mention watching the Spice Girls, much to my wife's dismay.
