Tony's Blog 2/6: Madonna's halftime show Posted February 6, 2012 by Tony Waitekus

Madonna

It's interesting looking at the comments about Madonna's halftime show.  A lot of people liked it, a lot of people didn't.  It was a big production, reminding me of something you'd see in Vegas (even though I've never been to Vegas).  There was some contraversy with artist M. I. A. flipping the bird.  That did not have to happen.  I don't know what M. I. A. was trying to prove by doing that on national TV.  There's the complaint about lip syncing.  I don't buy that argument.  All artists, major and minor, lip sync.  Today's recordings are sometimes such complicated studio creations, that they can't be done live by a single artist on stage, partly because they were never done that way in the recording studio.  But does that make it wrong?  Look at it this way:  Movies and TV shows are not done live, with few exceptions like American Idol and the news.  One of the reasons for that is to do things over and over until it's done right.  Who would you like to see perform on the half time show next year?

Tony's Blog 2/3: Sheep control traffic! Posted February 3, 2012 by Tony Waitekus

sheep

You've heard slogans about people following something like sheep.  Well...here's a video of sheep following each other.  Only problem is they are following each other in a circle around a car that can't escape!  The sheep don't seem to know they are going in circles.  This is in Caucasus in Russia.  Have you ever been stuck in the road by animals?

wedding rings

Here is a video of a man singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" to his bride, at his wedding.  He can't follow the band, and although he tries, it isn't very good.  I hesitated posting this for several months.  The reason?  This was posted on youtube by a family member of mine, minutes after it happened.  Several family members, including me, were alerted to watch the video right after it was posted.  Nothing is private anymore.  Has anyone posted things you have done without you knowing?
