Ok, I have succesfully ignored the superbowl until now....

[Porcupine]

my kid wants to go to a superbowl watching thing with a friend.

What time (pacific) does it start and who's playing again? Which cities? Who't going to win? I'm clueless here.

1. Start at 3:25

Indianapolis is playing Chicago. If I knew who was gonna win I'd be betting on it. I'm pulling for Chicago because of that Bottle Rockets song about Indianapolis.

2. Song? What song? Do I want to know?

I mean, I don't know any of those people playing and they aren't from the cities they're playing for and the stadium is probably named after some dog food brand.

Why the fuck do you people give a shit about this crap?

I must be an alien.

3. Bottle Rockets lyrics

Here are the song lyrics, from the album 24 Hours A Day, which I highly recommend.

You're not alien, you just have different opinions than some other people in this country and diversity is allegedly what makes this country great. Celebrate it. Ask the people watching the game what they enjoy about it. Learn from them in a non-judgmental fashion. You might get into it and have fun.

Got a tow, from a guy named Joe.
Cost sixty dollars hope I don't run outta dough.
Told me 'bout a sex offense put him three days in jail,
Stuck in Indianapolis hope I live to tell the tale.

Can't go west, can't go East,
I'm stuck in Indianapolis, with a fuel pump that's deceased.
Ten days on the road now I'm four hours from my hometown
Is this Hell or Indianapolis, with no way to get around.

Called my girl to tell her all the trouble that I had.
First time I called her in ten days, guess that made her mad.
Far as she's concerned I'm stuck here in this Hoosier State.
Stuck in Indianapolis with no way to set things straight.

Sittin' in this bar is gettin' more than I can stand,
If I could catch a ride, would they think I ditched this band.
Who knows what this repair'll cost, scared to spend a dime.
I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time!
But if I ever leave here I hope never to return,
If I get that van back, man the road I'm gonna burn.
Right now my future's in the hands of the boys down at Firestone.
Stuck in Indianapolis, feelin' all alone.
