Kina Grannis Sings in Super Bowl Commercial

February 4, 2008 by David Barr Kirtley Leave a Comment

Hey, I know her! During my first semester at USC, I was a regular at the meetings of the Secular Alliance, a club for students of any or no religious affiliation to meet up and discuss the role of religion in society. The group was a really interesting mix of smart, iconoclastic people, with a wide variety of ages, from first-year undergrads to forty-something grad students, a wide variety of fields of study, from music to neuroscience, and a wide variety of religious views, from hardcore atheists to evangelical Christians. The weekly meetings were one of the highlights of my time at USC. One of the other regulars was singer-songwriter Kina Grannis, who was a junior. I saw her perform around campus maybe three or four times, and I liked her music enough to buy some of her songs off iTunes. So I was startled and delighted to see that she was featured singing during the frickin’ Super Bowl. Wow.

Still from Kina Grannis Superbowl commerical.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
