The Super Bowl
I watched. The Patriots over the Rams 13 to 3, a defensive game, like watching a tableau of trench warfare, grinding on…. At last the Rams broke and the Patriots scored a touch down. This was the Patriots sixth Super Bowl win. Six rings,–what to do with them all? The game was the second lowest scoring Super Bowl in history.
The half time show in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was a avalanche of visuals. I lost the “music” in the confusion of visual effects, a cartoon introduction, performing groups representing the divide between subcultures, and Adam Levine’s strip-show display of his tattoos. It was cringe-worthy to quote a daughter-in-law who was quoting an internet posting.
“Are you not entertained?”
–Maximus, from Gladiator, a movie by Ridley Scott
A indelible memory of the Super Bowl evening will the the impromptu dance performed by our three year old grand son during the half time break.
