Rock and Roll at the Super Bowl: McCartney Was Great

Super Bowl halftime shows? Who cares? Janet Jackson’s fashion faux pas? Big deal. For once, halftime was cool. Paul McCartney was a great choice for entertainment as he performed a tasteful though abridged-for-live-tv set.

Hey Jude, the closer, was just gaining power as it was cut off for time. With a skilled, experienced band — the one he uses for touring and tonite — McCartney is just fantastic. Hats off to Sir Paul.

Go Philly.
