I turned it off when Yoko Oko came on reading the lyrics to "Imagine". That was too much for me....

[pitbully]

I thought it was very different,but that's Italy for you.I have never seen a race car in the Olympics before.I love to see them light the flame,I think that's the best part.The music was OK.I think I like the winter olyipmics better than the summer ones.The commercials were also good, like the Super Bowl.

Welcome to FR (a few weeks late, but whose counting)!

[Fudd Fan]

That's the great thing about recordings, people years in the future can still appreciate them.

[WVNan]

Oh Mario Lanza was acting in movies when I was a girl.

[Ohioan from Florida]

WVNAN,

[used2BDem]

Ooops. You forgot the "barf alert"! Yuck!

[StarFan]

Haven't seen the commercials but did catch him singing it live either on The Today Show or GMA last week. I got goosebumps.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Here on the west coast the ceremonies just started 10 minutes ago. So far it's terrible and I'm watching a woman and a man dancing in cow outfits. From this thread it sounds like it gets worse! What do you think -- Should I just go to bed now?

[Rte66]

Well, I wasn't exactly a "woman"

"Lennon loved New York City so much, that perhaps if he were still with us, after 9/11 he'd be outraged. You may say I'm a dreamer."

I recall that McCartney was outraged for maybe about a week and then went back to being a liberal.

[LucyJo]

G'night. :)

I remember listening to Mario Lanza when I was a kid. I think we had one or two of his albums. "Be My Love" was one of his best songs.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Nan may be old to you since you are just a youngun.

[used2BDem]

Someone needs to tell them Sarandon does NOT represent me or any other woman I know.

[Fudd Fan]

Well then I will retreat back to my own thoughts about it. Forgive me if I don't join in the record burning.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

yep, I just turned 20 yesterday.

1 year away from real freedom. LOL (just kidding again)

"It was accordingly Felliniesque! "

I live several weeks a year in Italy, so I guess I can relate to it. I'm just surprised there was no strike called in the middle of it.
