Whoever planned the halftime show, most likely a committee, new exactly what they were getting. The BEP’s are basically a manufactured pop-group that sings karaoke. There are no instruments in their songs, there are only synthetically manufactured noises that are supposed to come close to some kind of real musical instrument, but they always fail. BEPs music has no soul and the “players” are people who were assembled like a boy-band—with the requisite “Mod Squad” look, but without the white male.
