This was without a doubt, the absolute WORST half-time show in the history of the Super Bowl. My wife is a fan of The Who, while I can take them or leave them. Either way, anyone with an apprecition of music would agree that their performance was horrible. I’ve read the excuses on this thread and none hold water. This was the SUPER BOWL and having an aging senior band that is hard on the eyes and ears is inexcuseable. Anyone who thinks they were “good” or “rocked” tonight doesn’t know the first thing about music and/or expectations were so low that they would have been impressed with a chimp playing a kazoo.
FWIW, you might want to take a look at all the performing arts in general, same with arts and crafts and trade fairs.
It’s downright hard to find any novel artistry out there anymore.
Same with music, and with photography, and graphic arts with some exception in some advertising media.
Another interesting aspect is the next generation and their addiction to electronic gaming and media.
It’s probably the closest this we might see in the next two decades which really is a revolution in how people think, decide and behave.
While we might criticize the half time show, consider how we all are viewing it like royal kings, most of us on large screen HDTV vivid color screens with decent sound reproduction, watching a live Laser Show from the Super Bowl in our living rooms, able to chat about it over the Internet.
A helluvalotta freedom available in this type of lifestyle, but how do we direct or control our thinking?
