Random Olympic thoughts:
My five-year old son has Olympic fever bad. He asks us to record every event including the boring ones...waterpolo, cycling etc...
The opening ceremony was pretty much lame. Paul McCartney looked and sounded old. I like the idea of national healthcare but does it deserve an entire set piece in an Olympic ceremony? And the ripping up of agrarian England in favor of the Industrial Revolution? Why would you celebrate that? The Industrial Revolution was the worst thing to happen to this planet.
And how can you feature British music without Elton John, Oasis, The Smiths, The Clash and Eric Clapton? The Stones, Zeppelin and Bowie only get one line?
On the flip side, The Queen parachuting from a helicopter with James Bond was genius. Genius!
Ryan Lochte is too cocky. Phelps has no idea how to handle a loss.
Okay, more to come I'm sure.
If you haven't seen the Queen and 007's entrance watch it HERE. It's the highlight of the games so far.
