Born to be the sexiest man alive

Forget the monster-themed ads, forget Ben Roethlisbergererer, forget how I will forget who won the Super Bowl by St. Patrick's Day. I want to talk about Bruce Springsteen's crotch. In your face.

I saw Bruce and 18 of his best friends perform during his Seeger Sessions days, and can honestly say I haven't been the same since. Call People Magazine; Bruce has GOT to be one of the sexiest people alive. He even made up for his two-hour tardiness with a non-stop three and some hours performance. I don't quite have the words to describe his energy and charisma and what he did to those middle-aged women I was surrounded by.

Enjoy this performance of one of my favorite songs, Long Black Veil. (Johnny Cash, Dave Matthews, and Bob Dylan all approve? Then I approve.) Though I can't view it myself while manning Jones Hall front desk, I trust in the power of YouTube and Bruce. And if it's an awful video, please accept my apologies.

Refreshed?

Ahh. Superbowl Sunday. That magical day of the year when thousands of Americans glue themselves to their television sets to either catch the game or to analyze the newest commercials.

This year I was struck by Pepsi's generation ad featuring Bob Dylan's song "Forever Young."




Don't get me wrong, I love Bob Dylan, but I felt the song didn't exactly fit with the commercial. Wouldn't it have been more interesting to watch the commercial that compares things that are exactly the same 40 years ago as they are today with "Time's they are a changin'" as the background music? And for a company whose new advertising campaign is "Refresh everything" i was struck by familiarity of it to the "generational theme" that was pepsi's superbowl ad in 2002.




Needless to say, i did not find the new superbowl ad very refreshing. Though I do believe the you have the right idea pepsi with your new year's eve ad.
