So last night I posted a single comment regarding the Super Bowl Half Time Show:
“Maybe my age is showing, but I don’t get it or the controversy.”
I wasn’t being a racist asking this. I was accused of that. Twice. So pardon me for not literally getting why it was such a big negative deal that this guy performed. I just watched the half time show again and I still don’t get it. What was it like IMHO? Like a big happy block party.
I posted on my blog’s Facebook page about it. I am not a rap person. I do like Latin beat and salsa because it’s happy music and the dancing is cool to watch. I had a Cuban American uncle from Miami who scowled a lot when I was a child, but you learned things. That is how I first tried Cuban coffee, which I like as much as Espresso. Either his parents or grandparents had immigrated at some point to the US like most of our relatives of some generation or another – they were here long before Bay of pigs, etc.
One of my closest friends from high school lived in Puerto Rico a bunch of years, and built a house there. She likes Bad Bunny because she has always liked rap and hip hop and she also likes Latin music as a now Floridian. So I listened to the halftime show and watched it. I particularly liked the part with Lady Gaga and there were parts I neither liked and or disliked, I just didn’t understand because I don’t speak Spanish. But it wasn’t an unpleasant experience. It was upbeat and there were no wardrobe malfunctions.
So I posted about it with a screenshot of Bad Bunny dancing with Lady Gaga and said I didn’t understand what the big deal was. I decided write that in there the problem wasn’t bad bunny. The problem were the idiots on the Internet. Some Haitian woman literally called me a racist because I said I didn’t understand what the big deal was since October or whenever it was, the NFL chose him.
I have never understood what the big deal was. I mean seriously they’ve had every kind of act for the Super Bowl since I was old enough to remember so what was the big deal? As opposed to Janet Jackson, he kept his costume on. It was like a big block party and that made it fun.
Here is the link but you have to go to You Tube to watch it: https://youtu.be/G6FuWd4wNd8?si=AlawYr9l8SnJdJto
And there was other fun moments to it when some couple actually got married on the field during the halftime show.
So yeah I still don’t get why people were upset or the continuing line of fake news that he burned a flag. He didn’t. It was an AI hoax.

Here is some of the nonsense that got posted on my blog’s Facebook page, and yes I have been snarkier than usual because this constant stream of BS is ridiculous. We all descend from immigrants at some point in this country. It’s how our country was populated. Literally people were saying Puerto Ricans aren’t Americans. So freaking offensive and wow they don’t even know the basics of US history when it comes to people from our territories. I bet they think people from the US Virgin Islands aren’t Americans either?
Once again, 1930’s Germany with social media. When they start their new master race these Mensas, who won’t be white enough for them? Yes I did just say this out loud. And interesting to note was that Charlie Kirk’s widow did not seem to have been present for the “All American” alternative halftime show honoring her late husband and why is that?
And Kid Rock who has always just been crass at a bare minimum has always had controversies far worse than most:

And then this review of the alternative show:

The best quote from the Hollywood Reporter from a Bad Bunny interview:
“We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans,” the performer said last week. “The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you.”

And let’s talk again about positioning Kid Rock as a paragon of everything wholesome? Really? Well I guess Jeffrey Epstein is dead right?
He is faith, family, and freedom? He’s an ugly American…literally.
They had he and the other performers all clothed up like a Mormon wedding….I included screenshots of the one female performer and it’s a shame she can’t buy a clue because she has a lovely voice:
Oh and they say Kid Rock was lip syncing.

Look I also do not get the AI generated thing about Bad Bunny burning a flag. It literally did not happen.
We are a country founded by immigrants. Puerto Ricans are literally Americans. So are folks from the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. territories.
No one makes anyone watch anything on TV. One chooses to watch something on TV. Bad Bunny was never the problem here.
I am so fatigued by this nonsense, aren’t you? Every day it’s something. The new normal is anything but. We live in the era of ugly Americans. The most pathetic thing is our founding fathers fought, bled, and died so they could have the right to be asshats at every turn…and now they want our rights to be subjective and disappear.
