Bruno Mars to Perform at Superbowl XLVII

See the article here.

I don't know nearly as much about Bruno Mars as a lot of other people I know seem to know.  Just read about him on Wikipedia and found out that he went to Roosevelt; I can't believe I never heard that before.   Now that I think about it, I haven't talked to many of my Hawai'i friends about him..  I know a lot of people back home who like his music, mostly girls I guess--I think that's true pretty much wherever I go.  I think a lot of local people are proud of him for his success, but I'm not sure if he's seen by everyone as exactly representing Hawai'i, since he's taken things so far past his local roots, past the Hawaiian music scene.  I wonder how he feels about it. 

To tell the truth, I don't know his music very well, but I'm glad he writes his own songs.  It's also great that he likes Hendrix.
