I don't want to say that the Rolling Stones rocked the halftime show. It's not that they didn't rock, but I just don't want to say so.Mick Jagger looked kind of adorable with his black sparkly black rhinestone t-shirt and his silver sparkly belt.
Keith Richards was fine.
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" - fine.
But I couldn't help wondering, is a woman performer going to ever get a chance to play the Superbowl halftime show again? Are we that afraid of a boob exposure? Are we so afraid, that we can't even let anyone, even a male performer, onto the Superbowl stage that was born before 1970? Some man that even, god forbid, likes boobs?
The history of the Superbowl halftime show is such that for years and years the show was performed by a select college marching band. The first pop band to play the Superbowl was New Kids on the Block. After that, there were many ensemble groups of pop stars. There has only been a few who did the show solo - Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and last year, Paul McCartney (boo.) There have been a number of great women performers who did an awesome job in ensemble, sang modern songs, and managed to do so without indecent exposure.
I'd like to see more of that.
Right on! I wish they would go back to the college marching bands, or even better have a pop warner (little league) football championship game at halftime.
ReplyDeleteI concur! Hans was talking to a guy from his office who has children, and his comment was, "I find it much easier to explain to my daughter about a nipple, than why you need to see a doctor about an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours."
ReplyDeleteSo true. Why Viagra commercials when our country can't handle a boob?
