    Generational divides – something else to make you go hmm

    By Jeremy | February 7, 2005

    It seems that yesterday's no-nonsense halftime show was loved by everyone 40 and older, but support for Paul's homage to "Get Back" to yesterday weakened proportionately as the viewers got younger. Certainly this was true of the crowd I watched the game with. The upstairs living room was filled with Boomers reminiscing about the days when music was music while crooning along to "Hey Jude." It felt a little like a Karaoke bar. In the downstairs den, the teens and kids could care less. Who's Paul McCartney? What was he doing singing "Live and Let Die" -- wasn't that a Guns-N-Roses song? This halftime's wack! Hmm.

      I thought it was quite borrr-ing myself. Glad to hear there was consensus!

      While it certainly wasn’t the best show ever, at least no one was getting raped on stage this year. Let’s face it, the NFL knew they’d have a safe show with McCartney. A lot of other, especially younger, performers don’t carry that “guarantee.”

      I thought it was awesome! At my place everyone was talking about how Paul was able to bridge the generation gap. But I do agree, he was a safe bet. Last year I had a room full of East L.A College and Cal State L.A. students, all from the inner city. You can only imagine the things that were coming out of their mouths. It’s one of those ministry moments they never prepare you for.
