What the hell was Yoko Ono doing there? And Susan Sarandon?
Pavarotti was good, though. Impressive voice for a man over 70.

Yeah, I agree about the Big P. And Susan and Yoko, too.

The signal to my house was awful, it must be a local thing (colors "bleeding" and garish was the biggest problem). From what I'm reading, I didn't miss much when I turned to a channel that didn't hurt my eyes.

The ski jumper and the floating globes were my favorites (oh and the Ferrarri). The speed skating rocket heads were cool too.
But please, could Brian Williams have been more of a buzz kill? In a spectacle devoted to the principal of peace and leaving politics at the door, all this clown want to talk about was freaking terrorists!
He was practically frothing at the mouth by the time the Iranian team showed up, and then yammered on about the Iranian President, Israel, and the Holocaust - like the atheletes on parade have anything to do with that.
Then when Israel marches out, this one-trick pony brings up Spielberg's Munich.
Talk about tacky. The guy had absolutely no clue all night.

I have to agree with the Brian Williams thing. The guy was a constant irritant.
Also..what was up with the 80s disco music? My ears were bleeding.
And how come the US team is so unpatriotic? Still buying their uniforms from the Canadian company "Roots"? Someone better inform O'Reilly.
