So you don’t like rock, southern rock, Americana, classic rock, blues, bluegrass or country? You a rap or classical music fan?
He's definitely not classic rock, or really rock at all. More country/bluegrass.

Not my cup of tea. I prefer music from bands like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, etc

Watched Chris kill it and then promptly turned off the TV. The Super Bowl is as bloated and self-congratulatory as the Oscars these days.
Actually a pretty good game and the commercials were prob the best ever.... been a long long time since that has happened...

I timed it at 2:01. I didn’t count the guitar before he started singing. It was RIGHT AT 120/121 seconds. I thought that books would pay out both sides. They’ve done it before. Great lay-off by me. I wouldn’t bet an under on an anthem, just not my game.

Not a fan of the Star Spangled Banner and wish the anthem were something else. My dad would always tear up over "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." I envy the English and "Jerusalem." Such a gorgeous song.

[a bit later after some Googling]

Apparently the English have 2 anthems and the choice is determined by who wants to do it. The "other" song is NOT "God Save the [Queen|King]." It's "Thou Art the Ruler of the Minds of All People." Which I have never even heard of. The English sang "Jerusalem" during the Millennium celebrations.

"Jerusalem" has a beautiful tune and a comprehensible lyric -- a poem by William Blake. Ours has an unsingable tune and a run-on sentence by Francis Scott Key.
Francis Scott Key was an enslaver of humans, that should be 100% disqualifying right there!! Idk why it can’t just be “America the Beautiful”. It’s a much better song, and one we can actually take pride in.

Let me guess...because the halftime performed is a female and she is African American.
Rihanna isn’t American, but **** that and her skin color was surely strikes one and two for that commenter. His brain must have exploded when she started touching herself 🤯🤯🤯

See and some of y’all try to gaslight me like this **** isn’t rampant on this forum. The mods are clearly cool with this ******** too.
Did you notice, ZERO likes or reposts until you?
Congrats, you brought attention to someone, that everyone was trying to ignore and not fuel the flames.
And MODs dont read every post… you could have reported it… but obviously, it was much better to bring attention to it and yourself.
Good job .

When Gladys Knight sang the national anthem several years ago, she was the epitome of class, grace and beauty. She’s African-American, and awesome. Amazing how that happens.

So I’m a male chauvinistic racist because I didn’t like the halftime show? 😂😂😂😂. Wow you might want to lighten up.

Funny thing is I never mentioned race at all or gender. It was vulgar and IMO that’s not music. If that’s what you like more power to you, but it shouldn’t be the halftime show of the superbowl. But then again the nfl seems to love controversy.
I thought America The Beautiful was great by Babyface, was he black? That doesn’t fit your agenda though.
Say something negative about a black person and you’re automatically a racist. Reminds me of the Tubby days.

It's amazing how the same 2 or 3 posters, under different user names, are continuously allowed to hijack and ruin threads by endlessly inserting politics and specifically race based politics.

There is an entire thread on the general discussion board where you can post about it. Of they post their drivel there too, but still. It shouldn't be that hard for a normal human to keep the weird posting obsessions confined to one thread

I definitely agree it was a great game, strongly disagree on the commercials though. I thought they were awful, especially the ones before halftime.

I’m an anti-slavery bud. Is that a controversial stance in your opinion? This debate was settled almost 200 years ago, “we”is us buddy, the USA. Get with the program.
I am anti-slavery. But you don't speak for me, or anyone I know. So seriously, what gives?

You obviously harbor a lot of resentment.
Bro you are the one condemning a nearly universally lauded performance. How do you not realize how bitter and scared you sound? It’s so bad that you just reflexively attack. You saw an extraordinarily talented black woman up there on a platform and it made you lose your mind. I know exactly who you are.

I don’t know dude maybe you can answer that for me? I don’t remember asking your opinion on ****, but here you are grilling me. You are obviously extremely pressed, but I got nothing for you. You rushed to defend an enslaver of humans. You have revealed who you are and where you stand.

You don’t know who I am. I didn’t like the performance. I just typed in Rihanna in a search to see how “universally lauded” this performance was. And when I got to the third letter of her name it’s pops up “Rihanna accused of one of the worst lip sync performances ever.”
You’re probably mad that the half white QB won.

I don't scorn you or disdain you. I was asking you questions. I never judged you. I just told you that you don't speak for me or any of my friends. You haven't ever seen me. How do you know I am unimpressive?

Bigkari is absolutely right about this thread and others that are littered with racism. It’s fine to say “I don’t like this particular style of music” but some people aren’t doing that here.

And most do let it slide. Or worse, argue with the person calling it out.

Bro I answered your questions. You don’t like my answers. But you won’t accept that I’m not going to play your game and answer how you want. You quoted me, so you are on my time.

And I never once claimed that I speak for you, so you can knock off the ***-clownery.
