I thought it was awesome that Ol' Billy did it straight. It seemed to me that he couldn't hear himself at the beginning. He's old, but not that old. I'm betting it was more of a technical glich than just him sucking.

As for Prince, the guys got a ton of tunes to choose from. I happen to be a huge fan of Musicology, but didn't hear any of it. I think anyone that's a fan didn't hear SOME of their favorites. I also thought it was very cool to throw in the Foo Fighters and Hendrix tunes. Throwin some love out to someone other than himself. Nice.

I don't t end to expect much sound and music-choice wise from the halftime shows. Paul McCartney last year was a pleasant surprise.

REALLY REALLY REALLY looking forward to the Police on the Grammys Sunday; but I know the mix won't be great - and they're probably gonna play 'Every Breath.' Phoooey

I thought the Prince halftime show was better than the Stones & McCartney......COMBINED. "Baby I'm a Star" was quite a surprise & it was nice to see him shred a bit on the guitar. As a Prince fan, the last thing I wanted to hear him do was "Kiss" or "Little Red Corvette". It's nice to actually see a halfime show that's "Live" with less production......Prince frigg'n rocked.

Hendrix + James Brown = Prince

They are talking about the half time show on WMEE. I guess people are saying it was obscene with his silhouette and the white sheet. People just need to get a life!

"We're men. We're men in tights."

I find those people to be obscene...

f**k WMEE which is slang for 'we play christmas songs 8 months out of the year'. I am sick of this goody goody forking radio crap in this town. How about they spend less time picking out 'problems' and more time picking a new forking song to play.

If I hear Rob Thomas or Matchbox 20 one more forking time while I am working out I am going to go rip the forking sound system out of American Health.

And not just WMEE...Magic 95 as well...we play 'family safe' music...f**k family safe...how about 'quality' music...

These are also stations that promote sh*t like American Idle and other lame crap. Why didn't they call Paula out for fornicatin' dude that one year? Oh because American Idle is so popular and it is a 'family' show...f**k WMEE and f**k family safe radio...my 7 year old listens to HOT 107.9...She will adjust nicely to the world and won't get her ASS kicked for being a 'family friendly' Mark Prior when she hits the real world...

How about WMEE talk about the fact that Prince is worth more than their station has EVER been worth and he has more talent in his pinky finger than their entire staff when it comes to music...

A-holes...

Maybe I wrote that wrong. The DJ's didn't see anything wrong with the Prince half time show and actually had good things to say. They picked up the story from somewhere and were saying they didn't get why people had a problem.

Wallace, please remove the sand from your vagina.

Well I guess 30 forking minutes on the tread mill with FIVE YEAR OLD MUSIC PLAYING ON WMEE really pisses me off...

I used to forking work at AHF and I remember listening to the SAME forking SONGS and that was 4 years ago...

This town needs some readio help...

Perfect examples why I listen to 92.3 and 104...They play OLD sh*t...but that is the FORMAT...and they play enough variety that I don't hear the SAME sh*t ALL THE TIME...

WMEE and Magic...they have like 6 frickin' songs...all six SUCK and they play them over and over and over and over and over...and they sheep of this town just line up to hear it...

Damn this town!! Damn this town!!
