I'm okay with Billy Idol because I'd rather not go down the rabbit hole of worse acts they could have got.

I too generally like Billy Idol because I am also :corsair:

And at least you know that he isn't lip syncing.

I really hope they go straight from the Billy Idol anthem to the 'Mony Mony' commercial.

Also, 60 year old rockers should not try to look all cool, it just looks like grandpa trying to rock out.

Rock stars should probably be forcibly retired around 30 years after they debut because that's where they start to just look sad

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Just think, Billy Idol just got paid tens of thousands of dollars to come in and perform like 3 songs.

I will admit Idol is an odd choice, especially with all the DMV area musicians they could have gotten. Hell Dave Grohl is from the area, Foo Fighters probably too $$$$$$ though.

Sports, beer, greasy food, and music, four things every American loves and it's even better when you combine them.

Actually. The crowd is pretty good too. The caps really deserve a cup. A long playoff run at very least.

This is a good entrance, but it would be made better if they recreated the scene from Independence Day on that little model White House just after the anthem.
