I already wrote into Quilting Board giving my opinion on the National Anthem. That was absolutely horrible, disgraceful and the half-time was geared to the young kids. Now, what I would like to know ---- who paid for the tickets to go to the Super Bowl! Surely not us fogies who appreciate a good singer who can follow the notes the way they were written. So, then, where did the younger kids get that kind of money to go. I did find out in our paper yesterday that these halftime "entertainers" do not get paid for their performance except lodging, food and their entourage. So it absolutely has to be for free advertising on their part. And is that tax deductible? Here I go again! Edie
