      I dont either, and only heard some of his stuff before. I also am never a huge fan of most of the half time shows, but this one seemed to work well and was unique. I especially liked the end where he celebrates all countries, the dig without being a dig.

      I heard him for the first time yesterday, just to know what I was in for. Dude is incredibly popular on YouTube! First video had a billion views!

      And the spectacle of it all! Outside of last year, this was one of the most entertaining halftime shows I can remember.

        I listened to him after the Grammys. Found I loved many of his songs.

        Prince’s halftime show will always be the greatest ever. But this was close.

      I didn’t watch the halftime show. I don’t listen to him and likely will not in the future, but I do enjoy the fact that his existence forced the MAGA boomers I work with to suffer a kid rock performance. Thanks Bad Bunny.

        Not sure what kind of music you’re into, but I didn’t think I would like Bad Bunny either. After he won the Grammy, I decided to give it a listen and was shocked at how much of his music I liked.

          I just tried a few of his songs on youtube and confirmed it’s definitely not my thing. Other people can like what they like though.

      That was some of the worst sound I’ve ever heard in a musical number, basically anywhere. You can like the story, you can like the visuals, but objectively he sounded like shit.

        Most sports arenas have shit acoustics, so it makes sense that the sound quality is bad

        I remember Kendrick Lamar’s sound was pretty bad. But that was the audio coming through the tv. When they released the video on YouTube, it sounded much better.

        I honestly didn’t think this had bad sound, though.

        Clearly we’re in the minority, but I did not think it sounded good at all. It’s a hard event (even acoustically), and he clearly was singing live, but it felt like he was struggling to keep up with the beat. Although I’m also very hit or miss with rap, so I’m also probably biased.

        The message and showmanship was good and regardless of how it sounded, I think people will talk about this performance for a long time.

    What was that “story” where Chapter 1: Defeating evil with the power of love. Chapter 2: Defeating evil with the power of incredible violence?

    I’m already at chapter 2.

      I remember a movie where there was a guru like that, who convinced everybody on his (the citizens of the protagonist country/village) to not fight, because “love is the most powerful weapon”. The protagonists were like “fuck that, you’re getting everybody killed”

      So when the bad guys army arrived, they were meet with flowers and people just being happy and saying no need to flee or fight. The soldiers were too weird out to attack, so they just stood there, some joined the celebrations.

      The lead bad guy got angry and tried to stab the protagonist, but was killed before by a dagger thrown by the pacifist guru. Everybody just looked at then and said “love is the most powerful weapon… But it’s not always the fastest”

      I have no idea what this movie was, I remember it loked like shit, but that’s scene has been living rent free on my mind forever

        “Speak softly but carry a big stick,” implies that you have to be ready to deploy that Big Stick, and the other side has to believe it.

        Unfortunately, the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries has been using the Big Stick to roast marshmallows and weenies, instead of waving it around, and everyone has forgotten about it. It’s time to take away the Big Stick, beat Schmuck & Jeffries with it for a while, then use it on MAGA, real hard.

    It was all over Norwegian media that Trump said it was the worst half time show ever.

    Therefore I unironically fully assume that it must have been the best fucking halftime show of all time, full stop.

      It was great, definitely the best I’ve seen. Not just some generic gyrating dancers on stage… there was a whole story, a real couple got married and had their wedding cake as part of the story, there was dynamic movement and action throughout, all filmed very well. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin made appearances. Lots of cultural symbolism. Oh, and music on top of all that. Plus I now have a low key crush on Bad Bunny cause he is just delicious.

      I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.

      Its how I discovered Monsieur Perine and Hobo Johnson and the lovemakers.

      Emotional ambivalence isn’t only normal, it’s healthy. I love my partner for being my friend and supporter, but have also felt genuine hatred due to them not doing the work necessary to be a good spouse, leading to us separating.

      The trauma bond is a bit different, though. It’s unhealthy ambivalence, where even the positive feelings are ultimately rooted in strongly negative behavior. I had one with my father, so I get it.

      Honestly though, theres nothing more holy than sponsors in sports, so they probably asked them for permission prior to this message beeing displayed. The fact that they were okay with a message that pisses off a good portion of their customers speaks for them.

      Still wouldnt buy their pants though.
