“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television
shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be
generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is subject to change, however. In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties
to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes
that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something
positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
After
not liking the opening ceremony to the 2012 London Olympics, I felt like it
would only be fair to publish this account.
Simply put, my wife and I enjoyed the closing ceremony as much as we
disliked the opening. That is, except
for when Rio’s turn came, but everything beforehand more than made up for it.
Granted,
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some outrage (maybe quite a lot) from the
more devoutly religious types over the [outfits] that Jessie J wore—especially
the one she had on while singing Queen’s We Will Rock You. For it was meant to make you think that she
was fully nude, and even my wife noticed that it sure looked like the carpet
matched the drapes (if you know what I mean).
Getting
back to the rest of the show, it was every bit as impressive as The Who’s Super
Bowl XLIV Halftime Show. I wish I could
have found an embeddable video of the closing ceremony, but I suppose not enough
time has passed yet. The following video
of The Who’s Super Bowl show should give you an idea of what the Olympic closing
ceremony was like, if you haven’t seen it yet.
By the way, the [Kaiser Chiefs] performed a wonderful rendition of [Pinball Wizard] during the ceremony.

I didn't watch any of the Olympics at all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! We didn't watch all that much of it, and we would have missed the closing ceremony altogether if the television hadn't been on our local NBC station while we were watching something we had on the DVR.
