I'm one of the few older dudes out there that likes all genres of music but I'm picky about it. Love the good samples of rap, country, rock, pop, disco and heavy metal. They all have something good to offer if you open your mind.
OFF Topic, but am I the only one lost on this Superbowl halftime show?

When Dre started playing I ain’t mad at cha on the piano I thought the Pac hologram was coming out .
Well, I’m 37 and didn’t watch because I don’t generally like rap. I’m assuming I wouldn’t have liked it, much like how I wouldn’t have watched/liked a country music halftime as well.
A time-honored tradition: old white people watching a halftime show they know they won't like just so they can ***** about it and show how out of touch they are with the real world.
I knew I would absolutely hate it, so I didn't even bother to try to watch that garbage.
I agree on Prince and thought the Bruno Mars show a few years back was pretty good too.
If you can't give your wife the beans AND post on Rupp Rafters, are you even a true poster?
A truly horrible take on this topic. Especially when you choose to drag race into it. The discussion is about music and talent and what passes for entertainment.
Goodness, some of you need to loosen up!! Quit taking stuff so serious. I don’t like Rap at all but I’m open enough that I can still enjoy things like last nights half time show but not particularly care for Rap. Most of you are truly miserable people.. lol
Rap is something I just don't get why people like. Sort of reminds me of yodeling or playing the spoons. People do it and apparently like it, but I can't see why.
I guess for me it's not as entertaining watching people way past their prime as it is artists in their prime.
- Dr Dre, Snoop, 50 cent, Eminem, Blige, etc...they are all in their 50's and probably 30 years past their primes. For example 50 cent...has put on some serious weight and looks like more 65 cents as he;s carrying 15 extra pounds
- I would have said the same when Rolling Stones or AeroSmith were halftime headliners....they're just not the same as they were in prime. Maybe Prince was the only one well older that was great.
The better halftime shows were Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, etc....all of which were in their prime artists and they were hot at that time.

Your real world can kiss our ***.
Absolutely loved it, wish it would have lasted 20 more minutes.
At least we still got beiber right? He’s still young enough for ya.I guess for me it's not as entertaining watching people way past their prime as it is artists in their prime.

I wanted to scoff at this as well, but he’s right. My Facebook feed proved it.
I feel the same way about most modern country music. I find it to be repetitive, derivative, lowest common denominator pandering, but millions of other people would likely disagree.
Everyone has different tastes.
Absolutely freaking right. Modern country is the worst **** to ever happen to music. It’s worse than disco was. Modern country artists are basically grifters (except for Tyler,cp, and sturgill).
So not liking something that sucks means you’re out of touch? OK. LOL. Talk about out of touch!
Modern Country is just pop with a southern twang
That was the second best halftime show all time, behind Prince singing Purple Rain in the rain. I loved it. Don’t care what you guys say. Show was legit. Even 50 was good. I don’t care for KL, but the rest was great.
Just look at this thread, a bunch of guys saying "I don't understand why people like this" or crap amounting to saying it's the downfall of society, or someone else basically complaining about how having black people on is bad.
I didn’t see anyone saying anything about race except YOU.

Agreed. Although EAAAAASSSY there with the "30 years past their prime"
I was getting my threads mixed up, my bad. Somehow SB halftime discussion got added to the thread on teaching in Indiana schools...
So I guess the standard is only those that liked that crap are allowed to post their opinion? If you didn’t like it you’re “out of touch” or an “old white guy”? No double standard there! I don’t care much for country music either. Anyone want to criticize for that too? I’m s classic rock fan. If that chaps some butts, I don’t really care. I think rap is crap, but it’s OK if you like it. That doesn’t mean anyone else has to.
Amazing that these frauds were able to mouth any lyrics without using the N word - which they include in their disgraceful songs otherwise. Our country is losing its mind.
No, but one can have a specific opinion that is out of touch, like the types of opinions I cited.
My wife and I loved it ... definitely the highlight of the game for both of us. We both grew up in the 80's/90's, so we were hyped as soon as Dr. Dre and Snoop first appeared and the beat dropped.
What would you do differently? .. It's a game played by 20-30 year old players and classic rock bands are just too old to perform.
You can call last nights event "rap".. but in reality, it's "pop". Those acts were the biggest names for anyone who is 20 to 50 years old. I'm sorry that the 60+ crowd "didn't get it".
Only to you apparently. How is an opinion that the show was crap out of touch? That’s blatantly dumb. If it was a country music show and someone posted it was crap would they be “out of touch” as well?
Again.. if you want it done right, just have Bruno Mars do it. You're not going to please everyone if you pidgeon-hole it to specific genres.
So just put Bruno Mars out there, with that asian boyband and Katy Perry with her big ol titties.

Lol what? Why?
Maybe this is the perfect example of why no one will ever agree with the halftime show.
Bruno Mars is safe pick like Michael Jackson was.. you know, before he touched kids.
