New York’s first Superbowl and the world’s eyes on us and what could we have given em? Tony Bennet Hay Z mash up we coulda given em, and Springsteen thrown in and Bon Jovi. It is New York (well New Jersey) and we could have put on the show of a lifetime. It coulda been the UK Olympics in 20 minutes, a hot trot through 100 years of pop music.
We gave the world Frank Sinatra, Lou Reed, Grandmaster Flash… Lady Gaga and Madonna, punk, disco, dance rap… the history of them all in a 20 minute blast of superstars and what are we doing? Bruno Fucking Mars. His father was raised in Brooklyn sure, but Bruno is no New Yorker, not even close. He has just played Barclay Center. He is a 27 year old closeted coke head who is well beyond overrated. Bruno is James Brown what the Banana Splits are to the Rolling Stones.
WHo the hell made that choice and can we please have him fired. How can you put on a musical half time show in New York and not put on a musical half time show in New York. Any fool can see Bruno if he wants to, the guy has been on the road for the past year. What’s so special about a Bruno Mars show? I’ve seen him. Nothing is and even if he is good, you can’t get away from the fact that HE WILL STILL BE BRUNO MARS.
I’d rather have the Del Lords and Dion.
Well, we’re stuck with Bruno Mars. Well done NFL, now go and sell some more PSAs.
