HitsDailyDouble described Prince's Superbowl half time show this weekend as "one of the better halftime shows in memory", and this despite the rain and distinct lack of breast flashing. Then again, Prince is one of the few performers for whom the rain can be explained away as a creative effect, even if it wasn't purple. After singing a number of his own songs, plus bits from other people's too (including Tina Turner, Bob Dylan and even the Foo Fighters), 'Purple Rain' formed the finale to show, which, as you'll remember, boasts a huge TVaudience across the States. All waiting to be shocked and offended. Prince, we hear, simply entertained. Well done him. Though bad news for fans of scandal. And fans of breast flashing.
