It was on in the background here, but I didn't watch it. I could have cared less. I was more focused on the Puerco Pibil. I did catch some of the performance by half of The Who, but it was painful to watch. I can always google the stupid commercials later on, if someone else doesn't post them.
I'm just very bitter about professional sports. I really hope that roller derby is never tainted by that corporate greed that permeates the rest of professional sports or 'wrestling'. But that's like hoping that Cobain's guitar won't be hung on the side of a building in Seattle.
I know. I'm being a little negative. I shouldn't be. I'm just bitter about sports right now.
On the bright side, I got the Puerco Pibil in the crock pot. It smells good before I even cooked it! That, in my opinion, is better than any old Superbowl!
Roller derby will never let itself get to that level, thankfully. The women who own it are fierce about it being a DIY sport or we'd already have something like "Cherolet and Miller Beer present The Rat City Rollergirls' rowdy rough-up tour!" and it wouldn't be about roller derby anymore. Shit. This time they went to raise money for local charities and don't take the profit. Their fund raisers are grass-roots and cater to the fans and supporters of non-profit. They're working for their money. Financed by the people who want to see it. If the fans ever die, so will the sport.
I know you are passionate about this. Sorry about the negativity. I'm not usually like that. I'm usually the eternal optimist, to a fault. I ain't talking smack about any of those girls out there on the rink. I know better than that! It's those creepy corporate fuckers! The ones that will buy off one person at a time. They piss me off!
The thing that really bothers mew about the Cobain guitar hanging on the side of a building is that he would FUCKING HATE IT! It's all corrupted corporate money! It's a big ball of shit!
But, at the same time, how do we escape the big corporations? That's the big question!
I just had a thought of building a big bonfire of flannel shirts under the big guitar in the sky. Laugh with me!
Yup. The "R" word has been passed around recently in a lot of feedback I've seen around the web. There's only so much you can do before you really gotta hang it up and learn to live as "the guys who used to be in that band, The Who" (or insert any other band name here that's been going on for 3 to 4 decades...). I have a hard time with that modern day attempt to re-live the old days, but then again, some artists get so strongly type-cast they can't do anything else. Or rather, the public will not let them do it with success

I don't give a fuck about pro sports. Never have, never will. That said, I was happy New Orleans made it/won. This is really good for their city. My city. I love that place so much. Anything what's good for it is good for me. But I did not watch the game. I checked the score a couple of times and watched The Who. Otherwise, I had the Puppy Bowl on for the cats. ;-)
