Media Watch: Super Bowl XLII (42) was a real competitive slugfest! The New York Giants were a few steps faster and a touch more lucky than the New England Patriots, winning by three points. The prolific, but somewhat derivative Tom Petty $ The Heartbreakers performed at halftime.

I happened to stumble on one of these competition shows that saturate the media nowadays. This one exploited the grassroots "dance crew" movement that still plows on -- long after it came to light in the 70's as 'break dancing.'
The show itself wasn't too bad -- it was mostly young people doing their routines, but one act stood out for me on a whole other level than dancing:
A San Diego group called "Jabberwocky" consisted of six guys who all wore white masks, and featured isolation moves. In other words, I saw a half dozen Bucketheads, without KFC hats.
Their act was pretty damn good too -- they had their reasons for the masks, and were nearly Cirque de Soliel in quality. I hope that our mystery West Coast funky firehose guitarist is pleased by them.
If you want to see them for yourselves, take a look at MTV and search for the names Mario Lopez and Randy Jackson. I'm not exactly recommending a show that I can't remember the name of, but there's some funky culture there that someone else may find interesting.

There is also an unidentified event hostess, and my friend Bernie Worrell (inset), who often plays with Bootsy and Buckethead in the group Praxis.
