I love a good halftime show. This year's Rose Bowl did not disappoint. I was jumping out of my chair with glee when I realized that the USC Marching Band was covering Michael Jackson's epic Beat It. But just when I thought it couldnt get any better, the entire saxophone section recreated the knife fight from the video. If I didnt know better, I could have sworn every one of them had on a red leather jacket underneath their marching uniforms. Sure, the Trojans may have lost the football game, but I think we can all agree that with halftime shows that combine marching bands, Michael Jackson, and knife fights, we all were winners.

Vans Warped Tour 2009 Warped just began -- Dallas is the fifth stop -- so Bad Religion, NOFX et al will still be fresh. This year, they've got fewer stages and longer sets (40 minutes instead of 30). Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West). More info
