Man, you got that right! What a waste of air time. Don’t know why they geared this for the young people that most don’t pay the bills. Snoop Dog is old worn out entertainment. Maybe ratings will be way down & next yr. maybe the SB will
Depend on the younger people to pay for all the extras.They’ll go bankrupt!

Garbage or hateful
 
Amazing,

Is it garbage or just not liking people of color. Any time black players or musicians express them selves hateful comments are always used in the villages . I am white and a retired musician and while Rap and Hip Hop are not my favorite the talents and accomplishments of the performers at the half time show were as good as it gets.

It is embarrassing how closed minded our generation has become.

Thank god its out with the old and in with the new

I prefer 62 409 4 speed SS. Black with black interior. I could live with 63 in same equipped. As for the half time show most music now days it’s all about the beat and gyrations . Few even listen to words and most are filler words that rhyme. If they did they probably turn channel :) use in the twilight years can’t hear anyway.:duck:

I agree we old doggies will be gone in few years. I just wonder what there off spring music going to be like what reaction they will have?
Wonder why races want to be like the other races and why one generation can’t connect with off spring? I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Wish I had thought of that

pedwards2932 02-14-2022 12:35 PM

David Susskind, a popular talk-show host, called them “the most repulsive group of men I’ve ever seen.” Newsweek’s music critic pronounced them “a near disaster.” They were “not merely awful,” sniffed William F. Buckley, but “so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical…that they qualify as the crowned heads of anti-music.”

In case you don't recognize them this was about the Beatles. Sorry but you guys sound exactly the way my dad did when the Beatles were popular. I didn't like the half time show but I had the option to not watch it. It looks like the fans that were there seemed to enjoy it so to each his own and remember you can just turn down the sound if that offends if the visual offends then change the channel.....not hard to do.

Easy answer----it's garbage, and it has nothing to do with race. I don't see any comments that call the music of Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr., Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and a hundred others "garbage". It's garbage because it isn't even music to start with, and then adds violent, degrading and racist lyrics (when you can understand them). So I'll go with out with the new and in with the old, and if you don't mind please capitalize "God" when you invoke His name

I am not an expert on musical history. Yet, I DO know that each generation has a tendency to prefer THEIR OWN music. A generation is 20 years long, so that would make hip-hop / rap to be preferred as a group (with some individuals favoring some other music, obviously) .......a group from about age 30 to age 50. I assume that the music era before OURS -rock and roll- would be called the big band era with a little bit of folk thrown in?

After hearing that and actually reading the lyrics, if I even see him on a commercial or a show I immediately change the station. I’m surprised Martha Stewart does so much with him.That’s her business, but I will never support in any way someone that tells people to go shoot police.

You mean Martha the ex-con?

I always wonder how the police providing security for these performers feel about the “shoot the cops” message??
Maybe they should all take a knee and let the crowds run rampant

JerryLBell 02-14-2022 04:07 PM

Hip-hop and rap, like all forms of music, aren't for everybody. I'm not a big fan, but then I'm not a big fan of polka or country. To each their own. Since nearly all NFL players are young men and something like 70% of them are minorities, it's probably about time they got a show featuring the music so many of them listen to (though many of them wouldn't listen to anything as old school as Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg!).

Came back into the room from responding to some work emails just in time to see that trashy Ho spread her legs wide apart, that’s how. Quality viewing on prime time wasn’t it? Turned it to Nat Geo until I knew the game would be back on.

It is the garbage they call music and also the blacks that calls themselves n___as in every other lyric (god help a white person if they so much utter the word) and profess in their songs about killing police offices (and I especially hate that as my wife and I are retired LEO’s).

To each their own. When Roger Goodell realizes that there are “other groups” that play the music that more of “us” like, then you can rail on them all you want.

Again, to each their own.

Nice, hopefully with W series 348 and 3 duces. 409 first came in late 61.

I've seen it... Stunning...

There was a red '59 at the car show in Spanish Springs last month. My reaction when I saw it, to quote George Costanza, "It moved"...

Like Springsteen had any idea what that "amateur" videographer was shooting... :ohdear:

And J-Lo and Shakira? Yes, they could have toned it down a bit... She was an a stripper pole fer chrissakes....

Never saw that; would have been quite a waste of my life for that time span if I had.

"Is it garbage or just not liking people of color. Any time black players or musicians express them selves hateful comments are always used in the villages."

Not surprising really, but given that the outrage and vitriol started when the performers were first announced and long before the halftime performance, you succinctly pulled the rug back on the real elephant in the room. Thank you.

I abhor advocating the killing of police, or of anyone not creating a life/death threat for that matter, but it's not a coincidence that a lot of those who want to hang their hats on just that - have also been totally silent when it comes to actual equality for ALL Americans.

I'm also not a real fan of rap or hip-hop, but I do admire all varieties of talent and believe there are some very astute/intellectual/sad observations - in that genre and a lot of its lyrics. Since it's been shown that younger generations are far less racist & bigoted, in general, than us older generation folks, I'm betting that observation is one of the big reasons - so many younger people ARE such fans.

According to the rating services, this years half time show was one of the most popular ever. The demographic sought out after by the sponsors view rap music as their own. It’s just like the marketing people who view the demographic of The Villages as not worthy of a Costco or Trader Joe’s. More people care for rap music, than the old white men in The Villages. I hope you all enjoyed the game. GO RAMS.

Road Apple 02-15-2022 09:56 PM

Doubt they had The Villages in mind when they assembled the show. The really disappointing news is that Fifty Cent is now a Dollar!
