The two of you who read this know that I am a Conservative. I would not actively seek out those who are not Conservatives.

However, I watched Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. My logic is that NOBODY can tell me what or who to watch. I prefer to make up my own mind. Talking heads don't fill my head with opinions, thank you very much.
That said, Senor Bunny's show was...okay. Not my kind of music, but...okay. He didn't wear a dress, didn't spout off about the evil El Gran Diablo Naranja ("The Great Orange Devil," I think), and didn't seem overtly political (that bit about electrical poles exploding into sparks near the end was a dig at Puerto Rico's woeful electrical power system. That was fair. Puerto Rico's power grid is a mess).

| He did seem to have a bad case of the crabs, though |
Apparently, though, his lyrics were filthy and, if in English, would have merited a huge smackdown from the FCC. I mean, come on, children are watching!
 |
| Patriots fans, though? Those people cuss at baptisms |

To counter what some people consider a highly inappropriate bid by the NFL to curry favor with a niche group
 |
| The same NFL which has learned nothing from Bud Light. |
Turning Point USA provided an alternative show featuring Kid Rock. Supposedly, Mr. Rock has had some songs with questionable lyrics, as well.
 |
| But, that's okay because he blasted cases of Bud Light. USA! USA! USA! |
Apparently, millions tuned in. But not, as we're being told by the Left., nearly as many who watched the allegedly obscene Telemundo extravaganza during the Super Bowl (135 million...?).
But, hear me out, what if Roger Goodell had a stroke and thought Kid Rock was the perfect choice to headline the show? The Left then (and I hate that politics have infiltrated sports) would have had Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and twerking behinds hop around on another channel as an alternative.
I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers remained the same (or were close).
I'd be curious just how many televisions remained tuned in to NBC, Peacock (or wherever it's shown-I can't remember) while people, gathered at Super Bowl parties, shoved their faces in bowls of onion dip or inhaled their twentieth chicken wing, all the while bitching about how awful that game was.
People who couldn't give a rat's ass about the halftime show because....ULTIMATE NACHOS!!!!

| And it was a terrible game, too. After all, this crazy bastard got more yardage than the New England Patriots. |
At any rate, I hope I'm right and that this nation hasn't become so polarized that our allegedly premier sporting event hasn't transformed into an Us vs Them grudgematch.

| Or is the Puppy Bowl, or golf, going to be my only refuges? |
A lot of people I respect came out of watching that show with your same opinion. Me, I didn't watch either show- or the game, TBH (best decision I will make this year!). Some have painted the progression of songs KR did his personal progression to finding Christ. IDK, that's between him and The Master. (And I took a nap during the Puppy Bowl...)
ReplyDeleteI can certainly respect all of that. What I didn't mention above (I cut it to make space. See? I try not to over-bloviate) is that I started a timer once Bad Bunny started. If, at any time, he did something which I found objectionable (apparently, his lyrics WERE vile), I would have walked out of the room, noting how long it took. My main concern is the continued balkanization of the United States.
