A SuperBowl postscript

Re the Rolling Stones' halftime performance:

About 2,000 volunteers surrounded the stage to give the performance the feel of a "real" concert, even thought it was largely designed for television viewers.

The NFL had originally tried to ban anyone over the age of 45 from dancing near or on the stage, but it backed off after it was pointed out that the average age of the Stones was 62.

Oh, Gods forbid anybody over 45 might be seen dancing. They could be passing themselves off as young: horrors!!

(eyeroll) Yet another reason for me not to bother with US football. Thank heaven spring training will be starting soon...
