Tom Petty in Super Bowl lip-synch controversy

Did the rocker mime during his half time show appearance?

No way! Tom and his band are one of the few (I can count them on one hand these days) musical acts that have genuine talent! The fact that a rock icon like Tom, or even Paul McCartney for that matter, would be accused of such things only highlights the fact that some people can't comprehend real musical talent. I really think that if idiotic shows like American Idol and shallow "pop" hits weren't so prevalent on tv and the radio, the world would not even think twice about such absurdities.....however, we've come to the point where genuine performances are criticized...simply because people can't imagine a band actually being "good" on their own....without the help of pre-recorded vocal or instrument tracks. Great job TPATH!
