sweet land of liberty
Tried to get out to Mike and Claire's to watch the Bears game with them and the master's students but missed the train by 30 seconds. We made the best of it and shot to a pub slammed with, you guessed it, americans to watch the superbowl. Besides Devon Hester's kick-off return, the highlight of the night was when Billy Joel sang the national anthem.
Everyone in the bar rose to there feet, put their hand over their heart, and blasted "Oh say can you see......" I love how patriotic Americans can be.
The game was on sky sports, so one of the commentator was Don Johnson. Yes, he's an 80's star actor analyzing football. We all enjoyed his incredible wit and insight to the forays of American football.
Side note: what was up with Prince's 80's shot with the shadow/screen jamming on his guitar?
Someone asked me if Grossman was going to need 24-hour security now after that performance. Bartman can rest easy tonight.

Sometimes that pride of country thing/patroitism hits you harder outside of the US. Recall being in Zurich and happening upon the US Marine Band playing several Sousa Marches and was surprised at the emotions that I felt.
