It Was Just a Halftime Show. The Meltdown Reveals How Dumb We’ve Become

I think he’s wrong about republicans. I think they thought it a slap in the face for someone to come to an iconic American event and perform, basically, only to his culture.
Culture being sex traffickers and pedos

If I am being honest, and I dont want to be that old geezer type as I like surprisingly different songs when I hear them; hearing his music in the show and knowing it is popular allows me to appreciate even more the music I listen to lol.

Thank the L-rd I was born when I was and explored music interests on my own, never being the consumer of corporate promoted music.
 
Sue, the internet and cell phones have torn us apart, not helped bring us together.

When I was little, if you wanted to call your friend you had to pick up your land line and dial it, and hope that either they or their mom or dad was home to answer the phone. That was only to call and ask if they were done with their homework so you two could go play outside together, and whose football you would use that day.

With girls, if you wanted to tell a girl you liked her, you either had to get up the balls to tell her to her face, or at best, pass a note in class. But you were NOT going to text her "hey baby, sexy ass" or some other disrespectful comment that you would never tell a girl to her face because you know damn good and well she'd slap the shit out of you if you did.

The 80's were an awesome decade, we hung around at arcades, had hair the size of the Hindenburg and drove around in Trans Am's and Camaros and had birthday parties at skate rinks with all our friends. The best video game we had for the most part was Atari. By the time my parents got me one, the first Nintendo was out. I will never forget, at my friends house, I was in her bedroom in May of 1989 playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo. I'll never forget us wrapping ourselves up in her pink bedspread and killing an afternoon. Back when a parent would trust her daughter with a boy in her bedroom to not do anything other than play Nintendo. Just like they said they would. I was in 4th grade and she was in 5th. I don't think I saw her again after that, as we moved away. To this day I still miss her. She was my absolute best friend from pre-Kindergarten until I moved away at the end of 4th grade.

I would KILL to have the 80's back.
This country was never together, and it most certainly was not during the 80's. Boys had sex with girls in their parents' house during the 80's, and you are talking about grade school.
 
He damaged the country almost beyond repair.
No, he didn't. He has given you racists forever butthurt because you didn't want a black person in the White House.
 
People just be honest. The game itself sucked. New England never had a chance. Drake Maye played like crap. As NFL games go this one was boring. Then along comes the halftime show. More than half the NFL fans probably never heard of this guy. Most of the show was in Spanish so most people just sat there and watched without singing along. I was at a party so watching the alternate show was out of the question, not that I would have watched it even if I was home by myself. This wasn't New England vs Atlanta and overtime or Prince putting on an Epic show. This entire night was down on the list of great Super Bowl memories including BOTH halftime shows. If you loved one of the halftime shows, then good for you.
Actually, Bad Bunny is one of the top performers on earth right now. But you are right about the game.
 
The question is though, why would anyone spend money on the music? This astonishes me. In my entire life I have always been selective in what I purchased. People buying this music are just basically spending money on a loaf of bread at a premium price.
When was the last time you bought music?
 
Americans speak their minds. Football is an American CULTURE sport. I dont want to listen to Spanish.

So it SUCKS. Those that dont like my opinion. I could care less
Puerto Ricans are American. No one cares what you think.

Yeah, I don't listen to music, but I think it's about emotions.

They control their emotions with the music. Listen to this type and it'll make you feel this, listen to that it makes you feel that.

FWIW, I said this to my daughter just this morning.

I said, people my age reminisce about the 80s and want it back. I don't; the internet is generally amazing, and so are cell phones for the most part.

But what I DO miss is the feeling of us all being Americans in the end. We might have disagreed, even vigorously so, but we didn't need to make EVERYTHING a battle. Even down to the halftime Superbowl show.

However, to be fair:

My fellow conservatives have now taken their place in the battle, but the Leftists truly did start it.

I don't know how to go back.....
You don’?

It’s lose the hatred and avoid the manga tired outrage

I didn’t take a side on this because frankly I watch the game and the commercials

The halftime show sways seemed weird to me. Didn’t matter who it was.

But the right always seemed to find a way to an outraged.

Relax. It don’t mean shit
 
The author laid this out perfectly. Many of you on both the right and the left played your parts perfectly. You operated as programmed and never once thought for yourselves.

The conservative backlash wasn’t really about music. It was about discomfort with change and the refusal to admit that not everything is designed to feel familiar anymore. The progressive overpraise wasn’t really about art either. It was about signaling moral alignment and extracting symbolic meaning from something engineered to be disposable. Both reactions inflated the significance of a spectacle precisely because triviality does not feed engagement.

That’s the part worth lingering on. We now live in an ecosystem where boredom is intolerable and neutrality is suspicious. Everything has to be a fight. Every cultural artifact must be processed through a partisan lens or it feels wasted. A halftime show cannot just exist. It has to offend, affirm, threaten, or redeem.

The saddest part is how joyless this all feels. The Super Bowl used to be a night where people argued about commercials and laughed at the excess of it all. Now it’s another venue for pre-scripted outrage, another excuse to perform allegiance. Nobody looks happy doing this. They look committed.

The problem with last night wasn’t the halftime show. It was the hunger to turn a forgettable performance into a referendum.


and Puerto Ricans are Fake Americans :auiqs.jpg:

Its time to cut the cord. The bunny owns mansions in Puerto Rico. He needs to show his humanity y letting many people live in them with him.
