I actually got pretty lucky. A friend called me on Sunday asking if I would be in Tampa for the weekend and I said maybe. He then said that his family had an extra ticket to the Super Bowl if I wanted to go. Plus, we get to go onto the field for the Half Time Show (Springsteen).

Envy has morphed into more than mild dislike :tounge:

Yeah, and I know this is sacrilege to Dead fans, but I like the Counting Crows version much better ...

Willie's original cover of Patsy Cline's "Crazy" is still by far the best. I love Willie, and how unique the sound is from his guitar (Trigger). He has played that same guitar since the 50's.

Diana didn't make the cut singing Crazy, IMO.

I like Willie's version too, but also definitely liked this one ...
