Catharsis!
At various level. Half time deja-vu of the Who (40 years under the bridge). And the Happy Ending for Bourbon Street.
I was there before they let people with tickets in at Tail Gate. Just to take in the SB44 scene.
A lot of expectations. But Colts’ fans seemed to outnumber Saints’ in visibility. You see two blue team shirts for every black one.
But as we now know, luck has been with the Saints.
Number 22 interception. Straight for the end zone. What a rush!
See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me.
For three hours, the nation dropped everything, and eyes glued to the set.
We shared humorous commercials. We abhorred at the ridiculous ones. And we will remember Hyundai, Doritos and Snickers.
Everybody wins tonight. E*trade uses children (not bankers, whose ethics have been in question) to appear in its ads.
SB44 brought the audience together to share a special moment in time. Will anybody remember this night? I bet you, many would, least of which
the Who. Who would have thought after smashing his guitar at Woodstock that controversial Pete Townsend got a chance to play his signature songs and style (long hand counter-clockwise).
And of course, let’s not leave out New Orléans, where I have visited at least three times. And those for sure will not be my only trips after tonight.
I hear your song N.O. You are singing: “come and see me again”, heal me!
