I watched Lady Gaga demonstrate how to deliver the goods to her audience and show business in particular.
I was impressed. After seeing Madonna at the March of The Annoyed and Annoying , being victimized by celebrity videos and the culture they represent, growing angry at the performers who could not bring themselves to perform at the Inauguration , she rolled out what it means to be a professional and put on one heckuva show.
I would like to think she valued her audience, but she also valued her craft and knew any ‘statement’ would be the only thing remembered.
So, the Immaterial Girl flew through the air, plucked patriotic heartstrings and rocked the house.
A thirty year old from New York showed them how it is done.
It even amped up the Patriots.
After the Beyoncé nonsense, and a few stupid commercials, this was a breath of fresh air.
America, What A Country. We should broadcast that show into Iran 24/7.
I had the game on but only watched a bit now and then. Instead I finished a SF novel I was reading. Can’t say I was ever a fan of “shows” and my music tastes run more to the 60’s.
I am old enough to remember when the Super Bowl was a football game.
Now it is just a pre-season 30 minutes, the over sensationalized propped up rock concert , and the 30 minute regular season.
Some rules for Super Bowl performance: No cables, guide wires, or props taller than the 4ft stage they are performing on.
Brent, I too long for the past when it was a football game. I remember watching Superbowl I with my dad.
Like many things, we have what we have.
I will take this one over the anti cop Beyoncé crap they showed us last year. To quote Laura Ingrham, she “Shut Up and Sang”. Would that all of them do that.
“Like many things, we have what we have.”
No worries this year; we had a hell of a football game! This Patriot fan missed the halftime show because I was too distressed about the important stuff to watch. :)
