    Band star struck during Super Bowl weekend

    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) โ€” The Super Bowl has attracted so many stars to the city that even The Fray admits to being a little starstruck.

    The band performed at the NFL's official tailgate party at Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

    In the days before the big game, lead singer Isaac Slade said they were in a restaurant with "Glee's" Matthew Morrison, then another VIP walked by โ€” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Later, they saw Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

    Slade said, "It's been surreal, it's kind of an 'SNL (Saturday Night Live)' skit."

    The band also enjoyed plenty of star-studded events leading up to the big game โ€” for guitarist Joe King, maybe a little too much.

    King said: "I feel like I'm a sponge and I've had enough."

      Terrible title: "Band star struck". Should have been "Band star-struck" but I read it "Band-star struck" like he'd gotten in a fight or something. Article is totally void of value.

      Dear author: You DO realize that you've written the title to make it sound like the star of a band was struck by a car, lightening or something, right? The phrases "Band star struck" and "Band star-struck" are very different. The hyphen is your friend.

      i thought the article was going to be about someone from a band having been hit by a car.

      I thought this was going to be an article about someone getting accidentally tackled or hit by a crazy fan.

      What is it with Yahoo, do they deliberately give misleading titles to their stories so people will read them? They should have said star-struck, idiots. Of course, I guess I am the bigger idiot, because I fell for it.

      TITLE FAIL.
      AND NO YOU DIDN'T SUCCEED.
      you just succeeded at making the "news" and yahoo worse. not just in the opinions of many, but also actually worse. this is actually worse than a page full of ads and random text, because it has a negative intent.

      Learn grammar and structure. If starstruck is two words (see heading), your article should be about a fist fight or a pedestrian accident. You typed it correctly in the first paragraph. Either be accurate and consistent or hire a proofreader.

      Yahoo, thank you so very, very much for posting this AP story for all of us to enjoy.
      My life was feeling bleak before reading this.
      Now, the sky is blue and the birds are singing. All due to you, yahoo.
