TONIGHT YOU'RE A STAR,
AND I'M THE BIG DIPPER
I've been a big Prince fan for 25 years now. (Yes, I even bought - bought - "Crystal Ball.") So I dug seeing him tear it up during halftime of Super Bowl Ex El Eye.
Maybe Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post and ESPN's "Pardon The Interruption" said it best during a Q&A session today:
Q: What was it like to see it in person?Michael Wilbon: I don't spend a lot of time at Super Bowls -- and I've covered 21 of them--watching the halftime because so many have no appeal to me, like all the rock stuff because I don't know from rock music... So, I'll just say Prince was a thrill for me... But I'm a Prince fan and have been for 25 years. Prince on four-inch heels with an electric guitar in the rain, surrounded by fabulous looking twins. Are you kidding me?
Looks like the exposure paid off. Searches for Prince are up 679 percent today.
