There was enough of the ass-shaking radio pop crap in the pregame musical extravaganza.
Oh, and Charlie Daniels playing an abbreviated version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia, which is wonderful at any length ...
I thought McCartney did a great job. Like many, I got a bit teary during Hey Jude, and I rocked right along with Live and Let Die (I heard one guy, and I don't even remember who, might have been Glenn Beck, complaining about the appropriateness of that tune for halftime ... I love it, and don't mind when I hear it. It's a Bond tune! It's good anytime!) The fact that McCartney played all those great old Beatles tunes is what made the performance special for me. The only thing that would have improved it, and honestly, I was hoping for a bit of a SuperBowl surprise, would have been Ringo Starr joining him.
