It was not my style of music, but if we let a 15 minute music break to a sporting event divide us, the music isn’t the problem. We need to stop looking for reasons to divide. Just appreciate something different for 15 minutes and move on. When I next put music on in the car it won’t be that, but it did not offend me, upset me or kill me to be open minded for 15 minutes.
Some of us missed seeing Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, and especially the Who perform during halftime. and there are those of us who probably enjoyed Janet Jackson's so-called "Wardrobe Malfunction".
I have never heard a Bad Bunny song until my (34 year-old) daughter sent me a playlist list and asked me “Have you been preparing for the Super Bowl by getting acquainted with Bad Bunny?”
It was an astounding performance by an international superstar that showed why he is an international superstar.
The canard of not being able to “understand the lyrics” is so dumb. Most song lyrics are hard to understand as I am thankful for Apple Music adding lyrics for streaming. They also added instant translation.
One of my favorite musical artists of all time is Carlos Santana. Some of my favorite songs are in Spanish and that does not take away from the joy of his amazing talent.
Who here does not know and love “Oye Como Va”????
“Corazon Espinado” is another that oozes passion.
The same with Bad Bunny’s astounding and entertaining performance. I just oozed JOY!
Trump, being a miserable crank that literally peddles hate and the opposite of joy, was predicable with his “get off my lawn” insufferable grumpiness that has it’s foundation in his racist soul.
No, Donald, the “slap in the face” to our country and its people is FROM YOU!!!!
Every day with every repulsive racist, bigoted, hate filled, divisive, lying, delusional, ANTI-AMERCIAN VALUE and repugnant thing Trump says.
What is even more telling is that I watched some of rabid right wing alternative show the dishonesty named "All-American an Halftime Show" (Bad Bunny is an American as well as most likely every performer in the real Super Bowl Halftime Show) and for the life of me, I could NOT understand any of the lyrics.
Kid Rock's disgraceful poorly done lip-syncing (that left out the "sync" part) was a shrill, incomprehensible mess.
Nope, he is NOT a "convicted sex offender." He was held LIABLE in a civil case. He was CONVICTED for his financial shenanigans in paying off a porn star.
Daniel’s got a point, Thomas, and should be taken more seriously than you obviously are: it’s easy for MAGA to spread misinformation (as well as outright lies), so those of us reasonable Americans need to be even more careful to be accurate with our characterizations of Trump. He is an adjudicated sexual abuser (though the judge in that case did say that even though New York law required a different sort of proof to call him a “rapist”, for all intents and purposes, it WAS rape), and he is a 34 times convicted felon.
It’s more than just “technical”. It’s fact. Let’s not blend facts into mischaracterization.
Trump is the kind of person who was born on third base and thought he threw a touchdown because he's an idiot who doesn't even know what game he's playing.
Yeah, fighting Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen were collosally (sp) stupid. I don't really like much music after 1990, but you sure as hell don't start battles with anyone as popular as Taylor.
I do speak Spanish, and the Puerto Rican dialect was not the easiest to follow while Bad Bunny was singing..but that performance was epic. Joyful, exuberant, proud, visually stunning, and with a beautiful and positive message. The best!
I totally agree …so joyous ..made you want to dance ..and the sets were amazing…I still liked Prince better because …raining during Purple Rain ..even the weather was on his side ..lol
Once again, you’re on the wrong side of history, Dutch. At 135M viewers, likely the most highly viewed halftime show in Super Bowl history, the vast majority of Americans could feel the joy, love, and self-empowerment that the show exuded, whether you spoke Spanish or not.
That you didn’t “get” that isn’t in the least surprising, as MAGA Cult members like you simply don’t understand concepts like “The only thing stronger than hate is love”.
So 135 million people watched it. Remember the following:
Matthew 7 13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”.
Speaking of being "on the wrong side of this garbage 100% of the time", what do you think about Trump being mentioned "more than a million times" in the unredacted version of the Epstein Files?
I think immoral people like Trump, and you by extension, are the LAST people that can take the "moral high-ground" on ANYTHING!!
Where's your outrage at the fact that Trump's DOJ is violating the Epstein Transparency Act, the law that your beloved Deal Leader signed into law?
Here's the question posed to YOU and ANY of the rest of your Cult Members: why did you think it was SO important to release the Epstein Files BEFORE (when you thought it would implicate Democratic politicians), but now that you have complete power over their release, you're TOTALLY happy with them being kept from all of us (when it's now clear that YOUR side is the most implicated)? I'd call that hypocrisy beyond belief!!!!
Jesus god in heaven, talk about a "bright shiny object" that distracts you from what REALLY matters!!
I'm sorry, Dutch, but I think CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN RAPED ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WE CAN DEAL WITH, AND FINDING JUSTICE FOR THEM COULDN'T BE MORE IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!! And you were an "officer of the court"?!?! I'm sorry for ANYONE that put their lives, and the pursuit of Justice, in your hands! I normally wouldn't resort to such ad hominem attacks, you deserve them.
If I believed in Hell, and as someone who is INFINITELY more educated on Christianity than you are (I've got a degree in Divinity from Chapman University, studying with the late Pauline scholar Dr. Fred O. Francis, and will BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER if you want to quote chapter and verse on just how opposite you and MAGA are to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth!!), you would clearly and most certainly be BURNING there for Eternity, given your lack of concern for RAPED CHILDREN!!!!!
I cannot say this with enough emphasis: you disgust me beyond belief. You should look seriously at what you believe and how you live your life and STFU. Period.
OK, so I guess you have no idea of what "Broadcast Standards" are and how live performances at the Super Bowl work, huh? Can't tell you how unsurprised I am by you.
Given that I spent 45+ years managing accounts in the "Media & Entertainment Industry", I'd say I have enough experience to tell you what is actually true (and frankly, your comments, Dutch, are just as ignorant and uninformed at Rep. Randy Fine and his letter to the FCC. But then, you just copied-and-pasted them from one of your outraged MAGA websites/social media accounts...).
ALL lyrics are submitted to the broadcast network's Standards committee and MUST be approved in order to be performed. IF the artist has words that are inappropriate in a particular verse, they either change the lyric to something acceptable for on-air broadcast, or simply sing a different verse without the language concerns (one of the reasons why "Safaera", the song you quoted above, was done as a part of a medley. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD OF WHAT YOU'VE WRITTEN ABOVE WAS BROADCAST ON-AIR!!!).
Further, there is a "broadcast delay" inline, as there ALWAYS is with a live performance, and these are products I personally sold to the largest media concerns in the world. Depending upon the make/model of delay, they can provide anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds of delay of both picture and audio before it hits the broadcast chain, with 7 seconds being the average for the Super Bowl. What that means is that if profanity DOES happen to be said live, the technicians in the broadcast trucks on-site will hit the "Dump" button, making certain that both picture (in the case of a "wardrobe malfunction") and audio NEVER HIT THE BROADCAST FORWARD CHAIN! In those circumstances, the people in the stadium hear is NOT what the broadcast/streaming audiences hears. Period.
Jesus, do you think we're that stupid to think that this is what a major television network would allow to be broadcast?!?! Given how many affiliates were broadcasting that, and penalties are assessed based upon the number of stations violating standards, the fines would have been exorbitant!!
Stop parroting misinformation and actually use your brain every once in awhile, Dutch, OK?!
I don’t care if it was broadcast or not. I want no part of any of that trash! Like I said I’m surprised and disappointed you would find enjoyment in something so disturbing! Like I said, if you enjoy that kinda stuff your not left of center your far far fringe left….
Enjoy that garbage all you want, I’m sure there lots of people with pink and purple hair that would love your company!
Oh, so NOW you acknowledge that NONE of that was broadcast?!?! God, you're not only a LIAR and total hypocrite, but you're a pedophile supporter, 'cause we know who you voted for! You're TOTALLY disgusting!
I'm done, as there's absolutely NO REASON to have further "conversations" with someone who is perfectly fine with CHILDREN BEING RAPED!!!!
I don't know anything about Kid Rock's music but a previous reading from another substacker did print a couple of lines of some of his songs that were focused on liking underage girls and another regarding sex acts. This world is turned upside down. I always say the Republicans are great at moving the goal posts. The Kid Rock lyrics sponsored by Toilet Paper USA who are supposed to represent some evangelical movement (who in the Reagan years would abhor this immoral misogyny) is mind-boggling and disgusting. Wondering if Kid Rock is in the Epstein files w/ lyrics like that.
Apparently early numbers indicate 140M viewers for Bad Bunny vs 6M for TPUSA...and Trump wasn't even part of that 6M. Oof. For a guy as tuned in to ratings as Trump is, this can't feel good. With ~30-45M estimated 100% MAGA folks in the country, those numbers suggest that either MAGA doesn't watch the super bowl at all (hard to believe) or that more MAGA watched Bad Bunny than TPUSA.
I wonder how all the MAGAts felt when they realized that their dear leader wasn't even watching Kid Rock after all his fake outrage over Bad Bunny. When are they ever going to realize that Trump is just using them?
It could also indicate that the MAGA core isn't nearly as big as everyone seems to think it is. When I say MAGA core, I mean the die-hard Trumpies who first identify as MAGA and last identify as Republican.
"a recent Economist/YouGov poll found that only 27 percent of all voters described themselves as “MAGA supporters” and a perhaps surprisingly low 54 percent of Trump voters so identified. In other words, a minority of the voting public and only a little over half of the GOP is Trump’s loyal base."
Ditto for me. I don't keep up with all the popular music artistsas I've officially crossed the barrier into "Old Guy", but I liked the show. My Spanish language skills are muy malo, but I didn't need to understand the all the words to appreciate all the cultural references and smiling faces.
All the kerfluffle about Bad Bunny did was make my want to listen to more of his stuff.
It couldn't be that Trump is maybe racist, could it?
It’s the Northstar leading to every utterance he makes.
How can that be? He claims he's the least racist person ever.
You don't say???? Huh! Never thought of that angle.
😜

I'm copying this from someone else, but I always say he's not playing 3 dimensional chess... he's eating the checkers.
I don’t speak Spanish either.
I have never heard a Bad Bunny song until my (34 year-old) daughter sent me a playlist list and asked me “Have you been preparing for the Super Bowl by getting acquainted with Bad Bunny?”

Every day with every repulsive racist, bigoted, hate filled, divisive, lying, delusional, ANTI-AMERCIAN VALUE and repugnant thing Trump says.
Donald SUCKS THE JOY out of EVERYTHING.
When is this national nightmare going to end????
"No, Donald, the “slap in the face” to our country and its people is FROM YOU!!!!" Loved this, too!
This comment is spot on. Thank you!
What is even more telling is that I watched some of rabid right wing alternative show the dishonesty named "All-American an Halftime Show" (Bad Bunny is an American as well as most likely every performer in the real Super Bowl Halftime Show) and for the life of me, I could NOT understand any of the lyrics.
Kid Rock's disgraceful poorly done lip-syncing (that left out the "sync" part) was a shrill, incomprehensible mess.
Haaahaha!
"....and the dancing was disgusting, especially for young children watching...." mused a convicted sex offender....
Nope, he is NOT a "convicted sex offender." He was held LIABLE in a civil case. He was CONVICTED for his financial shenanigans in paying off a porn star.
My comment WAS pointing out the irony of his taking the 'moral ground' (man, if you gotta explain the jokes....).
So, I guess TECHNICALLY, I stand CORRECTED....
No, not "TECHNICALLY." *LEGALLY* There are different standards of proof in civil and criminal trials.
Oh, and jokes are supposed to be funny. Not expose your ignorance of the legal system.
LOL....
Daniel’s got a point, Thomas, and should be taken more seriously than you obviously are: it’s easy for MAGA to spread misinformation (as well as outright lies), so those of us reasonable Americans need to be even more careful to be accurate with our characterizations of Trump. He is an adjudicated sexual abuser (though the judge in that case did say that even though New York law required a different sort of proof to call him a “rapist”, for all intents and purposes, it WAS rape), and he is a 34 times convicted felon.
It’s more than just “technical”. It’s fact. Let’s not blend facts into mischaracterization.
I find it hilarious that the guy who dances by jerking off 2 imaginary giraffes found the dancing in Bad Bunny's show disgusting.
Haaa! Loved this smack!
Trump is the kind of person who was born on third base and thought he threw a touchdown because he's an idiot who doesn't even know what game he's playing.
The Trump administration's decision to keep picking fights with popular entertainers baffles me.
Like how DHS went after Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo when they objected to their songs being used as white nationalist propaganda.
They are popular. You are not
Yeah, fighting Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen were collosally (sp) stupid. I don't really like much music after 1990, but you sure as hell don't start battles with anyone as popular as Taylor.
amen to that.
"I don’t speak Spanish. I have never heard a Bad Bunny song before Sunday night."
But that does not make me just like Donald Trump. ;-)
I had no expectations but found myself - and the rest of the room - mesmerized by the performance. Best halftime event since Prince in 2007.
I do speak Spanish, and the Puerto Rican dialect was not the easiest to follow while Bad Bunny was singing..but that performance was epic. Joyful, exuberant, proud, visually stunning, and with a beautiful and positive message. The best!
I totally agree …so joyous ..made you want to dance ..and the sets were amazing…I still liked Prince better because …raining during Purple Rain ..even the weather was on his side ..lol
Yeah, me too. It was pouring...
you are WRONG, sir. The Who was the best halftime performance in history. Rolling stones distant second.
🤢
Once again, you’re on the wrong side of history, Dutch. At 135M viewers, likely the most highly viewed halftime show in Super Bowl history, the vast majority of Americans could feel the joy, love, and self-empowerment that the show exuded, whether you spoke Spanish or not.
That you didn’t “get” that isn’t in the least surprising, as MAGA Cult members like you simply don’t understand concepts like “The only thing stronger than hate is love”.
So I haven’t heard from you I guess you’re perfectly happy with all that filthy language.
Kinda makes you far far left of center way over on the fringe left….. 😂
So 135 million people watched it. Remember the following:
Matthew 7 13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”.
Call me crazy I’ll be on the wrong side of this garbage 100% of the time….

Where's your outrage at the fact that Trump's DOJ is violating the Epstein Transparency Act, the law that your beloved Deal Leader signed into law?
God, your hypocrisy is just STUNNING, Dutch!
So glad to hear from you I was getting worried!
Love the argument, look at the bright and shiny object over here, ignore the question posed to you. Very, very typical. Anyway, glad to hear from you.
Be well!
Here's the question posed to YOU and ANY of the rest of your Cult Members: why did you think it was SO important to release the Epstein Files BEFORE (when you thought it would implicate Democratic politicians), but now that you have complete power over their release, you're TOTALLY happy with them being kept from all of us (when it's now clear that YOUR side is the most implicated)?

I cannot say this with enough emphasis: you disgust me beyond belief. You should look seriously at what you believe and how you live your life and STFU. Period.
Ok so let’s look at the lyrics that were sang in Spanish:
“Galactic style lust
Yes, so that your panties get wet
Get horny and versatile
More slutty than Betty Boop
This one who got horny, mani, was you
I stay killing with the U
Pussy abs dick, dick with ass (Push it in)
Pu-pussy with dick, dick with ass yes (Push it in)
Pussy with dick, dick with ass (Push it in)
Your tits rubbing my nipples (Push it in)
This year I don’t want sluts (Push it in)
They see you with lots of jewels and they want to stay (Push it in)
They see you really active and they want to stay (Push it in)
Because you look hot, because you look hot (Push it in me completely)
Really big tits like Lourdes Chacon
Really big ass like Iris Chacon
I don’t know why I haven’t seen your pussy”
And you somehow think this is acceptable?!?
Can’t tell you how disappointed I am in you. 😢
OK, so I guess you have no idea of what "Broadcast Standards" are and how live performances at the Super Bowl work, huh? Can't tell you how unsurprised I am by you.
Given that I spent 45+ years managing accounts in the "Media & Entertainment Industry", I'd say I have enough experience to tell you what is actually true (and frankly, your comments, Dutch, are just as ignorant and uninformed at Rep.

Pure and simple, Trump is just "Old Man Yells at Cloud".
Except he's an old man with the power to destroy millions of lives.
Oh, no question. The fact that he was able to get the nomination of a major party was a five-alarm indictment of our system.
I don't know anything about Kid Rock's music but a previous reading from another substacker did print a couple of lines of some of his songs that were focused on liking underage girls and another regarding sex acts. This world is turned upside down. I always say the Republicans are great at moving the goal posts.

This just in: low IQ president condemns operas for not being in English. "UN-American" he claims. (Just kidding... for now.)
He’s taken care of that. He closed the Kennedy Center
I see Porgey and Bess is coming to Dayton. Bet he doesn’t like that either
Too DEI.

PS - I never heard of Bad Bunny song before this either, but I loved the whole show! The game stunk, but the show was great!
47 is a racist. Full Stop
Ditto for me. I don't keep up with all the popular music artistsas I've officially crossed the barrier into "Old Guy", but I liked the show. My Spanish language skills are muy malo, but I didn't need to understand the all the words to appreciate all the cultural references and smiling faces.

You don't need to speak Spanish to know that Bad Bunny's performance was pure joy!
