I thought it was decent, better than Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake anyways.[/quote]
There is complete need for that..
Mr. Answer is a tard. He has no regard for the impact he had on the music world.[/quote]
Please explain the impact he had. I am curious![/quote]
Wow...just...wow.
At this point I'm beginning to wonder if you even know who Paul is, besides "that guy who did the halftime show."[/quote]
I too am beginning to wonder about people's knowledge of Sir Paul. Yes I know all about the Beatles, and have several CD's of theirs actually but I would really like to hear someone explain this great impact Paul McCartney had on the music world and not just say.. "well he was with the beatle's and they just changed everything.' I am curious as to one's response to this question as basically the argument was made that this poll was 'stupid' because surely one should recognize the impact that Paul McC. had on music. (Which I don't get, ever if he invented music...if he gave a show that sucked is everyone supposed to enjoy it for nostalgia's sake?)[/quote]
:lol: Congratulations on hijacking your own thread...I also have a question for you, was your sudden fascination with whether or not Paul had an impact on music a preconceived notion or did you just decide to toss that into the ring once was it was pointed out that your poll was utterly biased and flawed?[/quote]
I'm not to concerned with my poll or its results. I didn't, however, realize that a few people had such strong opinions on keeping somesort of 'unbiased integrity of unscientific CAG polls.' My 'sudden fascination' stems from a pet peeve of mine of people just tossing out rationale for things, in this case the sense that "Paul McCartney gave so much to music how can you even hint that he might have given an uninspired performance.
Read: msia comments: This is the gayest topic I've ever seen. shaq-fu you Mr. Answer: I still wait for he/she to say explain the actual reasoning behing this oh so intelligent post.[/quote]
