No wardrobe malfunctions, but Madonna’s halftime act at Super Bowl XLVI didn’t exactly go off as planned! Accompanying artist M.I.A., 36, flipped the bird toward a camera just before a cutaway during the halftime show. It was the only flaw in a spectacular production raising the visual & audio bar, in which Madonna, backed by a marching band dressed as soldiers of antiquity and a capacity crowd armed with flashlights, hit high marks for another Super Bowl halftime show. A stage spanning 30 yards, 11 additional light banks, and a white screen in front of the stage which showed accompanying light effects and images, including a montage of film actors from the black and white era and a final message: World Peace. Hip-hop artist Cee Lo Green led a marching band, and LMFAO joined Madonna at center stage for a rendition of their 2011 hit “Sexy and I Know It”, and flashes of Cirque du Soleil during the entire show, featuring several dancers bouncing on a highwire above the stage!

It’s “halftime in America,” and people who are out of work need look no farther than Detroit to see a way to recovery, Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood says in a Super Bowl commercial for Chrysler. Eastwood, 81, spoke in a two-minute spot as the New England Patriots and New York Giants headed to their locker rooms at the midpoint of Sunday night’s game, the year’s most-watched U.S. television event. “People are out of work and they’re hurting. And they’re all wondering what they’re going to do to make a comeback. The people of Detroit know a little something about this,” said Eastwood, who was mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, from 1986 to 1988. “They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again. Detroit’s showing us it can be done,” he said. “This country can’t be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do, the world is going to hear the roar of our engines. Yeah, it’s halftime, America,” Eastwood said. “And our second half is about to begin.”

Another Grammy flashback moment from this weekend when Chuck Mangione picks up his 1978 Grammy for “Children Of Sanchez” at the Pre-Grammy Awards Ceremony that I hosted in 1978. It was Chuck Mangione’s second Grammy, and followed a year in 1977 when his big pop hit “Feels So Good” was at the top of the charts. (February 23, 1978)

Back in 1977 & 1978, I was asked to host the Pre-Grammy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A., and on my syndicated 70′s radio show this weekend, some flashback moments coming up!
