mia at the superbowl

so at the superbowl halftime show, mia 'flipped the bird' to the camera and it was shown live. i didn't watch the superbowl (for i don't have a tv - shocking i know) and didn't hear about it until the next day on yahoo's website. in the article on yahoo they made the comment that madonna could have been more edgy and she wasn't. but that mia's risky move wasn't very edgy at all.

i just want yahoo-news to make up their mind. what's edgy and what's not. maybe madonna didn't want to be edgy. but how is 'flipping the bird' not edgy enough? mia did it on live tv knowing that it would be shown for there is no time to block it out. the reason yahoo-news stated that this wasn't edgy enough, is because people won't really be talking about it the next day. and now it really isn't in the news anymore. but again, how is 'flipping the bird' on live tv not edgy enough? i'm just wondering what's edgy and what's not.

muse

so my favorite band in the whole world is MUSE. and they are currently in the studio recording their 6th album. matthew bellamy (the lead singer and guitar player) described the direction of the album as this:

'christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia.'

now that sounds like it will be an interesting album. hehe. i have no fear that muse will rock my socks off as always. man i love them. i can't wait until the new album comes out!
