Clint Eastwood in Chrysler's "Halftime in America" Ad

Without a doubt, one of the most memorable commercials played during this year’s Super Bowl had to be Chrysler’s “Halftime in America” spot.  In it, Clint Eastwood talks about America going through tough times, but coming out strong together in the end.

“Seems that we’ve lost our heart at times. The fog, the division, the discord and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead. But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right and acted as one. Because that’s what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can’t find a way, then we’ll make one.”

Although it was seen by most as an inspirational message about our country’s resilience, some Republicans like Karl Rove are up in arms, saying it was a sneaky pitch in support of President Obama.  Check out the commercial

Few musical artists have been as scrutinized even before their debut album came out as 25 year-old Lana Del Rey. When her video for the song “Video Games” hit the internet a few months ago she seemed poised to be an overnight success.

Where, we all wondered, did this beautiful nobody come from, fully formed with that sultry look and that mesmerizing song? The buzz got so big so fast that network TV’s tastemaker show “Saturday Night Live” even booked Del Rey as the musical guest last month, unheard of for a new artist without an album out.

With only a few small club shows under her belt, her television debut was underwhelming to some, a disaster to many. She barely moved onstage and weakly projected the lyrics to the two songs she performed. She looked like she was somewhere between sedated and overwhelmed.

See SNL’s hilarious repsonse to her haters.

[UPDATE] Sign the petition to have Weird Al as next year’s Superbowl halftime show here.

Now that Old Man Madonna is off the stage in Indy it is time to turn our attention to next year’s Superbowl XLVII halftime show in New Orleans.

What’s the rush? Because it’s time for us the fans to have a voice too. They didn’t ask what we wanted when they forced the freaking Black Eyed Peas on us last year or when they brought on the surviving half of The Who in 2010.

Here at the Kevin and Bean Show we floated an idea last year that still sounds great. And Juilan Garcia from the New York Daily News said it better than we could in his piece that ran on Superbowl Sunday.

“Time for a true American icon to be invited to the Super Bowl halftime stage: Weird Al Yankovic

Al! Al! Al!

How Can We Make This Happen?

Whenever I go to Romania, my Romanian girlfriend picks me up and takes me to her home so that we can make love for 24 hours straight.  Sometimes we’ll go longer if she’s been good.

My little “Catri” was recently in the Super Bowl commercial for the new Fiat 500 Arbath.  And when they asked my little scorps (nickname for her scorpion tattoo on her neck) to star in the commercial she didn’t have the confidence to do it. Plus she didn’t want it to reflect poorly on me. She’s so sweet that way.

 Im Sorry. Have I Not Introduced You To My Romanian Girlfriend Catrinel Menghia From The Fiat Commercial?Photo Gallery Catrinel Menghia But I told her she should go for it, doubts and all. She asked me if she was pretty enough, and I said probably not, but she should go for it anyway. What about putting whipped cream on a stranger’s face? That’s OUR thing.

I assured her it was just acting and it was OK. Then I asked her to get me a beer. But I’ve been rude. I should’ve introduced her to you by now, so here are some photos of her so you can get to know her.

Kevin & Bean have always had a fascination with making staffers perform “talents” on-air that they clearly suck at. It’s just plain funny.

Although everyone here is a music lover, it doesn’t mean that any of us can rap. Just to the contrary. Everyone is absolutely horrible at rapping and Lisa May’s certainly no exception.

So, how ’bout this for a funny way to award tickets to The 54th Annual Grammy Awards®… Lisa May takes hugely popular songs from Kanye West and raps the lyrics. To make it harder on her, Kevin & Bean refuse to let her hear the beat. Contestants are left to decipher the lyrics based on Lisa’s rap.

Listen and you’ll see why this was no easy contest.Watch Lisa May Rap, badly.

That’s funny, I was actually flipping off the TV during this halftime show as well.
