- There was lots of music from Underworld...the techno-trance-beat...and of course Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy among many.
- I think the Queen must go to sleep when it turns dark...otherwise they wouldn't have had the mismatched 007 bit jumping out of the chopper in the middle of the day, landing in the stadium at night. Either that or someone made a planning boo boo.
- I think they pulled just about every British celebrity they could find to participate, except Sir Elton John and the Osbournes, and the Stray Cats, and Wham, and... You know, I think the director has a thing against the 80s.
- When those bicyclists-as-doves came out -- symbol of peace no less -- don't you wish they played John Lennon's "Imagine"? You know, "Imagine" is in the top 100 all time songs in most everyone's list, including the RIAA, and Rolling Stone magazine.
- My informal count is that about 80% of everyone at the ceremony had a smart phone. Of that 80%: 60% iPhones; 30% Androids; 10% No One Cares.
You know, China spent a bunch of money that no one will do, for another decade at least. It's difficult to come after what the Chinese did in Beijing. UK did its best, but there's no way you can compare...except that Olympic torch holding the eternal flame, was magnificent and outshined Beijing.
Can someone explain, however, why Mitt picked Phelps over Lochte? The PROPER answer, would have been: "I got to be honest, Matt, I hope an American wins, and if both Phelps and Lochte are on the stand at the same time, I'll be extremely proud."
