So, yeah. The Rolling Stones — arguably one of the biggest bands to ever exist — played a surprise show at the 700-capacity Echoplex in Los Angeles.
The sixth L.A. Lakers playoff game clashed with the Rolling Stones’ opening tour date, and luckily they are famous enough that it doesn’t matter.
Half the reason that non-football fans are lured into watching the big game is to watch the over the top pitches from some of the best ad firms in the world pushing the biggest brands in the land. We watched the game for our favorite musicians making appearances in some of these commercials. Watch the 2013 Super Bowl commercials with Psy, Usher, Fleetwood Mac and more here.
Today, according to history’s most credible doomsday theorists, the Mayans, is the end of the world. Dec. 21, 2012 is the day that the Mayan calendar ends, which obviously means the ancient civilization predicted the end of the world, and didn’t just eventually find it pointless to make a calendar that went like 5,000 years into the future.
For the most part Wednesday night’s 12-12-12 Concert was a dull affair — the Rolling Stones only played like one song, Kristen Stewart wore the Kill Bill jumpsuit and Kanye West wore a skirt and failed at igniting the classic rock-loving crowd.
