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".

How does someone get caught having sex in a public restroom with homo’s and then go on to perform at the closing ceremonies? George Michael was never any good anyway - watered down lowest common denominator crap he stole from other artists.

agree. Buncha chit thrown together. The Lennon “sculpture” was almost as creepy as the Big Baby/Fetus at the opening ceremony.

These CC’s so far are worse than a free Vegas show and only half as dignified.

Well, maybe I'm just too thick to get this, but wasn't this Olympics about athletes from all over the world working hard, giving it their best and competing for medals? One might think that some of these themes might be visited in these ceremonies...but no, we get a Brit rock retrospective. "Pinball Wizard?" Really? That was played out 20 years ago...pointless, meandering crap that cost millions.

looks to me they are celebrating the national health care which I might ad I know about and there is nothing to celebrate about it as my mother still lives there and was refused to have knee surgery and had to do an appeal which took time and her husband died from cancer waiting to get checked for cancer.

I’m watching it now and they had to show the commie lover from the beatles and play his imagine a world with no religion peacey crap.
Then they have the homo singing, then they have had to dust the cobwebs off these singers, WOW the best part thus far was seeing the British army march on, think that regiment was the Coldstreamm guards.

The stadium looks great and hopefully see some fireworks but thus far it’s been utter crap.

Well, I’ve muted it. I have no idea what the hell is going on and its better that way. I don’t think the organizers did either.

I’ll stick with the chinese. Apparantly all England is now a days is drugs, sex and music.

they really dusted off the cobwebs on this, must admit China’s was much better.

This is just a ocncert with aging singers in some cases.

Uhhhh...James Bond movies (oh...they dealt with that in the opening)...boy--that is a tough question.

But this is just overproduced dreck, and has NOTHING to do with the Olympics.

it’s a joke and I’m from there.

imagine a world with no religion song, old singers and a homo who likes fecal matter on his penis at a public bathroom, sicko.

Get the fireworks on please and leave it at that.

"mother still lives there and was refused to have knee surgery and had to do an appeal which took time and her husband died from cancer waiting to get checked for cancer."

don't worry about that. They will have reeducation classes on how to properly diet and live healthy productive life. If that doesn't work no problem they will just implement what they do in japan. Remove anyone that has a waistline of more then 33 inch's from the program saving lots of money.
