Exactly. I was going to be deaf by the age of 30 and lice were going to invade my hair. Our generation did not know what hard work was and we were all drug using no-goods. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Back in the day, they had music during halftime. Now they have Rap, that’s not music?

Yes, that is exactly what we do.

I guess everyone has forgotten how the NFL looked the other way on the kneeling and disrespect shown by players and now they’re all worshipped again.

Not me. Not ever. Regarding the half time "talent", I would not spend one second listening or watching those low lifes. I do not want in any way to endorse or support how these individuals choose to live.

Hip hop music - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music)

Quite a lot of different styles of music in this discussion of Hip Hop or Rap music.

It does have many fans.

[valuemkt]

My TV will either be turned off or on another channel for 45 minutes at half time. Just another reason to detest Roger Goodell and all that he stands for

Well, I have arrived. People my age are officially "old fogies".

[Bonnevie]

as the daughter, niece, and sister of police officers, I do not in any way approve of the lyrics calling for violence against the police.
but artists have been using violence and explicit lyrics in the past, so it's not a new thing rap is doing.. you may remember when Tipper Gore founded a group to put warning labels on music with explicit lyrics or advocating violence. she was prompted by listening to a Prince song, Darling Nikki. As you may recall, it didn't stop Prince from performing at the Super Bowl. he was not the only one with such lyrics:They criticized her and the PMRC for issuing the “Filthy Fifteen,” a list of artists whose works regularly included explicitly sexual or violent material. Artists on the list included AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Sheena Easton, Judas Priest, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, the Mary Jane Girls, Merrcyful Fate, Motley Crue, Prince, Twisted Sister, Vanity, Venom, and W.A.S.P. Gore was criticized harshly for her actions.

I was at a Janis Joplin concert in 1969 and she was famous for her sexualized actions on stage and police actually came onto the stage to stop the concert. she actually starting threatening them with a drum stick. what a show.

Usually we look forwards to the half time show, not this time. We plan to skip it at our place.

[Nucky]

During a visit to N.J. last summer I asked our 12-year-old grandson to turn down that garbage you are playing. He turned it down immediately but came into our room and wanted to talk about why I wanted it turned down. I said certainly son, it's almost 11 PM. Quiet time. No problem.

The next day while we were driving to pick up the groceries at Shop-Rite he asked me if I could turn off the crummy music I had on my radio. I asked him why. He said they normally don't listen to Funeral Music and that my choice of music was Jacked Up.

I'm going to watch most of the entire festivities including halftime unless it really bothers me or my wife. She's hip, she probably knows the songs.

The way I look at it all is I'm on the 20-yard line of life heading for the endzone. The last two years have been rough for us in many ways. I decided to not have issues with everything, this is one of those things. I'm hoping my life gets extended by at least a double overtime. Enjoy.

because i happen to like the sport of football.. I dont have to like rappers that hate the police in order to watch a football game or to support Pepsi for sponsoring these miscreants.

Yeah Right.

Come Monday and days to come, all the heap will be on TV, social media radio, Computer Browers etc.

Might have to check it out. Could be a short view .

Wow! I for one have never listened to any of these “artists”. There must be some code of general human decency which we must all uphold. Anyways, thank you for enlightening me.

Although apparently hate speech is allowed:
“The United States does not have hate speech laws, since the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that laws criminalizing hate speech violate the guarantee to freedom of speech contained in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

did everybody enjoy the half time show. snack time for me,glad its over.

I know that those of you that watched were tapping your toe. On your good foot! It wasn’t that bad. Was it?

I learned something about the lyrics being against the Police. Why did they get picked to perform. I understand better why so many people objected. That’s not entertaining that’s disgusting.

The Super Bowl is a big American deal. How foolish to not take the opportunity to have a show that would appeal to a much wider audience, including young kids and all the way through to us Boomers and beyond. There are many big name entertainers who would have reached more people. We need that.

I am going back and forth right now, trying to decide what aggravated me the most, that show or that last minute loss.

I hate to see good opportunities missed. This one will be remembered for the wrong reasons.

Grrrrrrrr

PS: The ads were not good. Not even sure what some were trying to sell, although I did like the one with Barbie’s Dream House in the current real estate market. Rocket Mortgage got her past Cash Carl somehow??? and then Ken showed up to help move. I think he said something about his glutes. Geez, Ken, it’s not always about you.

[davem4616]

certainly wasn't a half time show that I enjoyed....I ended up putting it on mute

Not going to hell silly…..lighten up
Thank goodness there is music out there for everyone not just just for stuffy peeps
My take is they kept it clean, the stage was pretty cool and they don’t go over the top, so for that music genre it was a great show.

satan's public relation's department. No longer hiding in the dark. A show full of symbolism but then again satanic churches are a thing too.

Just one question---how would you know?---I couldn't understand a single word they were babbling.

The Baby Boom generation is no longer the largest demographic group. There are now more Millenials. Several years ago, our music gradually disappeared from commercials.

It's too bad that parents and other people let their young children see the nasty half time show and commercials during most all of the Super Bowl. The one with the dead woman getting married to a white man, and all the other nasty dancing and singing and sexual suggestive behavior.

[msilagy]

Respect others taste in music. People born in the 90's most likely enjoyed it. If you think that music is what's wrong with this country, open your eyes!

guess you are stuck in yesteryear. personally I hate hiphop, however from a musician side. These 'artists' have made millions by using music to basically bitch about their environment. So it is actually more hypocritical of them, as they mostly (except for snoop) dress like they still live in that environment and act like it also.

If anything what you should be upset about is the NFL pandering to BLM without any knowledge, other than knee jerk reaction, of what the entire issue is about. The alleged inequality and I say alleged since that 'divide' wasn't there several years ago, it was invented and pushed as an issue by the millennial generation.

Most of these artists, are excellent musicians as well. It is their choice to use it in this manner, the fact that no one can understand what all the words are is besides the point. Which is the main reason I dislike hiphop, aside from content. I'm not appreciative of music containing the 7 words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. I feel a lot is lost and it's just too easy to write.

Yet keep in mind it's extremely wrong for any of us to use the "N word" yet it is entirely ok for them to.

Agree. My wife and I thought it was pretty good, except the sound sucked. I like Eminem, although I didn't like the kneeling thing, but whatever. Not really sure many people made the connection. That whole kneeling thing is played out anyway.

I actually like a lot of the newer music. Most of my Spotify playlist I use for running is newer stuff. An open mind is a healthy mind.

Your response shows that you have turned into a "grumpy" old person. The half time show is geared for a younger audience. It is exactly what your parents were saying when you were a teenager and the Beatles came on the seen and the early 70's hippies.

[GATORBILL66]

I don't even waste my time anymore watching the nba and nfl. Those two leagues have become very racist.

Hate to admit it, but you are 100% correct. I was looking to see if lyrics were sub titled, like a conversation that was translated by the nuns in the movie Airplane.

[Petersweeney]

Knowing how people read what they want to and run off on a tangent, let me say a couple of things. I responded to a Low Life comment and might have chosen the wrong words. The halftime performers are successful at whatever it is they do. They have made a lot of money and gained fame and followers in the process. I've heard some songs that were good, and some I thought were garbage.
Let me be CLEAR, I do not condone any medium or song that promotes violence against anyone, especially police officers. There isn't a punishment harsh enough for animals that shoot police. Sometimes I might not find the right words, but they are my words. Look familiar?

I was speaking to the objection to the lyrics about women.

I explained to you my police background and how I am against those lyrics, but then I'm Caucasian and don't have the same experiences some African Americans do.

I enjoyed Eminem and Mary J Blige, but didn't understand a word of the rap.

I also didn't like last years half time show that was so highly sexualized with J Lo and Shakira. It escapes me that female performers feel they must perform like that to be successful.

I must be old. I couldn’t identify with any part of that halftime show. Do those rappers have a special dialect that only rap fans can decipher?

The game was great although I was rooting for the Bengals!

Rap is for people who don't know how to sing.

I guess they have some H.S. kid hired for half time entertainment. I agree what joke! Maybe ratings will go down!

Every generation makes the same criticism of the music of yore. A know it’s very comfortable to stay in your “bubble”, however, stop showing your age and open your ears. Just like anything, not ALL musicians are thugs or troublemakers. A lot of old school hip hop reflects personal life experiences.

Without going into generational music, I will try to explain it somewhat. Why do some people like the color green while others like blue? Why do some like plays and others do not ? Why do some like classical music and others do not? Why do some like grand Prix races and some like oval tracks (driving in circles like big donuts)?

It's not the music. It's the lyrics of some of the songs. We are cancelling people who said something stupid in their Junior year of college way back but saying nothing of the sentiment put forward in songs like, "F the police." Not the music or that we are not open minded enough to try to listen. The problem is we have.

The music was from 30 years ago...

[chicksinger]

Whether you like rap or not, I think the bigger issue here is that you have daytime T.V. and most families that watch it, do so together. Listening to disgusting lyrics is not something we had to live with or deal with...our rock music wasn't nasty, degrading or humiliating to anyone. Some of it was silly, nonsensical or ridiculous but there was so much more and the music was melodic. Rap has no melody...it's speaking in someone's rhythm and for the most part it often paints a very misogynistic picture of women especially, uses the N word unnecessarily if it's supposed to be offensive (whether you're black or white) and the constant F words are ludicrous. That just tells me you are incapable and an untalented lyricist when you can't produce something worth watching/hearing without them.

[MDLNB]

Rap is NOT singing! Rap is equivalent to the 60's hippies that recited half witted poetry in coffee houses, and just as entertaining. Say what you will and try as you might, but you can act like you are "with it" all you wish but you are NOT young, even if you attempt to endure and like their rap krap. I know plenty of young folks that enjoy our rock and roll, but I know of hardly ANY seniors that enjoy rap. I've enjoyed everything from classical, to jazz and country western and rock, but I have never found one rap piece that I have even tolerated. Even elevator music is better, in my opinion. I know of NO seniors that listen to rap at home or in their cars. I am sure there are a few on here that will dispute that statement, but they are only fooling themselves. Thank goodness most of my grandkids have more class.
