Anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies???

Is anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies? So far, I've seen a quite eclectic selection.

I think so far, the highlight has been when Eric Idle, one of the Pythons, came out and sang "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".

And yet, I cannot turn them off. It’s like rubber-necking at a car accident — I keep hoping to see some evidence that someone survived.

Jessie J.

It's like the producer of this took the This Year's Cultural Highlights issues of some British magazine for the past century, tossed them in the blender and poured out the results.

TV is on the other side of the room and the only acts that made me actually walk across the room were the Spice Girls and Brian May. Wow is he ancient. Spice Girls looked Fab.

Always nice to hear the Greek Anthem....although they should change it to “Brother Can You Spare a Dime?”

I suspect the Chinese will be canceling weapons programs left and right. I don't think they spend money unnecessarily.

The only way to salvage this is by having the Brazilians come in dressed and dancing like it is Carnival.

But then that would fix just about any problem.

This column by a puzzled reviewer is actually more entertaining than the ceremony:

But they were dressed like it was a slightly chilly British evening, not a sultry end of summer party in Rio. The ceremony wasn't saved by the Brazilians.

“Nice to see Mike Rutherford of Genesis playing...”

I was kinda hoping that either Phil Collins or Genesis would be in the closing ceremonies.

Tw other British musicians I’d have like to seen tonight were Bryan Ferry and/or Rod Stewart.
