On the side, I do sound gigs. For the past 3 years, I've worked with a local indie wrestling group. My rule... NO MIC DROPS!!!

Once in a while, they drop it. The Audio Technica is still going strong.

Wrestlers are COOL! I've known a bunch, from Randy Savage (Poffo, actually), to lots of others. What entertainers!
Savage, his dad, Angelo and brother, Leaping Lanny operated out of Lexington thru the early 80's. Ronnie Garvin was the toughest little SOB of the group!

Used to shoot And write some for them.

Gary, meddlers are everywhere. In 60 years, someone played with the "toys" on the bandstand at every job I've had.It's my fault I don't remove everything, but on a house job, I get lazy, I guess.

So Lady GaGa does the 'mic drop' and the media goes crazy, calling it "epic" ??? ... 'twitter' goes crazy with comments ... I'm OLD, because I just don't get it ...

I really didn't like the preformance all that much. Maybe I just am tired of all the overproduced shows out there these days. I will say I think she was actually singing although I'm sure the backround music was canned. And it did have a lot of energy but aren't we tired of the fake crowds put around the preformer to do fake reactions to the preformance.
The Olymics did it so much better. As for the mic drop, ehhh, don't care.

After about 10 seconds, I switched channels and watched Cops till halftime was over. Lady GaGa neve impressed me - ever!

Gary, listen to her with Tony Bennett.

In my opinion, I think the lady can sing. Some people are turned off by all the hype that surrounds her, but that doesn't mean that she's not talented. As far as 'overproduction', hey, it's the Superbowl. How else are you gonna' justify those multi-thousand dollar ticket prices and gazillion dollar ads?

+ 1 ... Excellent ...

I never said she couldn't sing - she sings quite well. However, the sexual innuendos associated with her on stage performances tend to be over the top, IMO, which really doesn't do her any justice. You really don't need to show lots of flesh and gyrate when you have great vocal qualities. When she was alive, I would have much rather seen and heard Whitney Houston perform on stage. Same held true with Karen Carpenter. Maybe I'm gettin' old. Hell, I am old!
