Worst Halftime EVER

Just because you don't know who the rappers are doesn't mean you can claim NO ONE knows ....

Travis Scott is a big rapper right now

Big Boi is a famous rapper too. 

You can say you didn't like it, fine. But people know who these rappers are

I know what vinegar and grapefruit juice are.....that does not mean that consuming them would still not leave me with a sour stomach.

Why do I feel like I'm missing a big local act? 

Joe Walsh, Trent Reznor, Bone Thugs, Machine Gun Kelly, Kid Cudi, The Black Keys, Marilyn Manson, Tracy Chapman, Devo, Macy Gray... I feel like I'm missing a big local act or two... 

The Raspberries/Eric Carmen   Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders (part local),   Glass Harp,/Phil Keaggy,   The James Gang/Joe Walsh,  Wild Cherry,  The Human Beinz,   the Leverts,  Michael Stanley, The Outsiders

Let's not forget our own WSS.

I absolutely loathe Rush, so you are probably right. 

12yrs old, November 1980, Long Beach Arena, my 1st concert ever .....  Rush's Moving Pictures Tour with Golden Earring opening up.

First time I ever smelled pot.

Golden Earring should have been the headliner.

Am I the only one who thought the halftime show was fine? Obviously Levine losing his clothes to show the dad bod was...awkward but I appreciated him actually singing and his pop hits are fine. That's not one of those performances I'm going to tell my grandkids about, sure but it was fine. People acting like this was the worst thing of all time, I just don't see that

Fine?  Depends on how you define  "fine".   When I think of something being "fine"...I usually think of it as being top notch, top rated.  Like...that Shiksa has one fine, fine boute'   on her.  Or...this is some of the finest wine I have ever had.

Then there is fine as in "yea, fine, OK, whatever".    This performance fit into the  yea/OK/whatever category.....

This is what I consider "fine":

This is not:

We got the latter, not the former.

And I guess the other moral of the story is:

Maroon 5 is to be heard and not seen.

On the other hand Gladys Knight knocked it out of the park.

WSS

as much as all the rap and crap sucked, she really did an amazing job - she absolutely did. Loved it !

You're saying you'd like to maroon them on a desert island?  Levine is OK on The Voice though- minus the band.

It wasn't the worst performance I've ever seen, but it was uninspiring to say the least. After the Janet Jackson fiasco, the NFL has gone strictly "safe" with the acts they choose for halftime...

Super Bowl Halftime is for women and gays.

Tell me you went out back and had a cigar, restocked the beer cooler, threw some nachos down your pieholes and walked the dog and I might have some new respect for you homos.

Anyone who needs to restock the beer cooler at halftime is a poor planner before the game.

I was at the WSS  SB party.....so you can imagine that yes....there were a lot of gays and homos and chicks there.   I don't smoke and I don't have a dog (cat left home with the wife)....but I did the beer and...while not nachos...basically the equivalent.  But I was a somewhat captive audience.

By restocking....I took that to mean to restock my hand with a beer in it.

In my case:  Guinness.   That is what I did.

restocking your hand is acceptable.   Needing to restock the beer cooler is poor planning.

We had to head down to the wine cellar to figure out what else we were going to drink for the second half. The sound was turned down so far for the halftime show, you couldn't hear it... Which was probably a good thing....  Actually this picture is post-game, but you get the idea....

How many people did it take to swill all that?

Four or five...   Actually, it was on the high side of twenty or so...  And there was a lot of great food to go along with it... With the party starting at 4 PM, people were pacing themselves, so really that was around 4-5 bottles of wine per hour for 20 people- not as crazy as you might think....
