Heitz Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 The social buzz I saw was overwhelmingly positive. I’m sure I’ll see results on LI… As for the relevance question, those artists have sold about a billion records and not only influenced, but driven culture for 30+ years from right there in SoCal. The game was *in Inglewood* and people don’t get why Metallica wasn’t playing? 🤔 That show was like classic hip-hop! If they had some of the new kids up there, people would really lose their minds… 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. It’s a big bunch of fake NFL hype, I was at SB XL and that's what I saw. I payed attention and was into it cuz it was the Rolling Stones and I like them. But it was not like being at a concert cuz as you say most people weren't paying attention and milling around etc. That year there was a controversy cuz the NFL wouldn't let fat people be in the "crowd" on the field.

Wow, is that true? Omg, how did they enforce that policy!? Would have loved to see the Stones , even if it was a halftime show. Lol ! Grew up with them and just missed their shows in the area i was at times they toured. I missed them down here in Jax recovering from neck surgery complications unfortunately. At least you can say you saw one of the true icons live, but you’re right , halftimes are not like concerts. Still being at a SB is a bucket list thing I would tell everyone to try to experience, it’s just that unique. The games usually aren’t that great but the atmosphere, the draw of all the famous people, and just the spectacle is really something you will never forget. Who played in the game that year ? Hope you had a great time! Bills lost the two I went to of course (27/28) , but both times I had experiences that would only happen around that event ! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he remembers going to concerts by Aretha Franklin or The Supremes or The Isley Brothers and people knew the words to the songs and sang along and it was a beautiful moment of harmony and togetherness. Now its mostly one man with a microphone mostly talking about money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played on the Seahawks Blue Thunder Drumline that year so they took us to the game. It was fun. Super Bowl week is a zoo. I can only imagine what it's like now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Halftime of a championship football game (of all things) is NOT the time or place for some sort of breakthrough musical entertainment performance. The SB is now so overhyped and overblown, it is almost impossible for the game to come close to living up to expectations. At the end of the day, it's just a football game and the SB today wasn't in the top half of playoffs games this season. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing and prancing and rhyme words can only go so far. I don't think those horn "players" even played one note. Keith Richard nailed it: September 4, 2015, Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards told The New York Daily News that Rap music was for "tone deaf people." He went on to say "All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they're happy. There's an enormous market for people who can't tell one note from another." 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like watching all the other old fart rockers and pop stars they trot out every year. Just typical bland halftime show After years and years of bringing us washed up white nostalgia acts like Aerosmith, The Who, Madonna, Springsteen, etc., it is truly refreshing to see the NFL trot out washed up black nostalgia acts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
