Now I will admit that I am not the one that tunes in to NFL games to catch the impressive plays made by highly over-paid, over-muscled, under-educated men. However, I did tune in to watch this year's Super Bowl, or, more honestly, the commercials. And as I watch the halftime show, I'm deeply disappointed. I mean, Prince??? What is this, 1994? Although it does beat the Grandma Bowl Halftime Show featuring Paul McCartney. In an attempt to make the American public forget about Nipplegate, the halftime show producers attempted to bore us out of a good part of our memory by playing a former Beatle.... and nothing else, leaving the majority of audience asking their parents, "Who's Paul McCartney?"
And now Prince is up there, playing not even his own music, but COVERS! First Tina Turner, then, get this, Foo Fighters! Is this an attempt to make us forget that even the Super Bowl has gotten desperate and boring? Come on. We don't need violence and sex to be entertained (although it helps). Just be creative. Do something entertaining, something new.
And I won't admit that some sick, deranged part of my mind was hoping that all the pyrotechnics would short out and light Prince's hair on fire, a la Michael Jackson. Is that wrong?
