I did think that Jagger's comment that Satisfaction could have been done at the First Superbowl was the highlight of the entertainment. I could not keep from thinking how different the Half Time Shows were back when...
I thought about heading home after work last Sunday to see the Stones and the commercials, but then I would have had to endure all of that football ;-)
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

I couldn't believe how much energy Mick Jagger had!
I'm amazed that Keith Richards is even still standing.
It wasn't a great set but I love the Stones!!! Amazing that "Satisfaction" is older than the Super Bowl. What an awesome song!
Have to be honest - I didn't watch, but went hiking in the remarkably EMPTY local hills instead! Sorry I missed the Stones, though.
I turned forty at a Rolling Stones concert. What a night!

Yeah - good to see a Stones concert on prime-time TV. Shame about all that footbal in the pre- and post-concert shows though.
and sober!
I reaaaally wanted to see and hear Honky Tonk Woman.
