A Nipple-Free America


Thanks to Paul McCartney, "the restorer of Super Bowl decency and family values," Americans were spared the embarrassment of once again seeing a certain, small body part which all of us happen to be born with (we each get at least two, as a matter of fact). Wow, Paul McCartney. Remember when he was considered cool? (I know, it's kinda hard...it's been well over 3 decades*).

In case you missed the game, you can view the highlights here.

*Sir Paul did at least manage to slip a couple of family-unfriendly lyrics past NFL officials:
...last fall, after submitting a list of the four or five songs he wanted to perform, a group of six league officials pored over his lyrics.

"Every single word," said Brian McCarthy, a league spokesman, who was one of the judges of what are deemed classic rock lyrics.
Apparently, these guys weren't hip enough to catch these references:
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man

All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll baby.

Only sorry he did sing "Why Don't We Do It in the Road". Richard Thompson cracked me up, though, with his song "Dear Janet Jackson", which is a free download at http://www.richardthompson-music.com/audio/dear_janet.mp3
