Time Has Passed Me By

[richardp69]

It is official. I am a certified, old man just living in the past with no appreciation for todays music. Except for America The Beautiful and our National Anthem there was not one song I heard before or at half time of the Super Bowl that I can honestly say I like or even consider to be music.

Bah Humbug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[GGJaguar]

We like what we like.

 

[Guildedagain]

I don't get it either.

I guess the drugs were better back then ;]

 

[dreadnut]

We only hear what they push at us.

I'm bingewatching Yellowstone, so I missed it!

Well, actually I watched the first 15 seconds of it....

 

[Stuball48]

Halftime Show was like a root canal!

 

[mavuser]

can not believe Dre and Snoop did not do "nothin but G thang." especially right in LA! no explaining that one, whatsoever

 

[shihan]

Well, I did see some guys with musical instruments on stage (or whatever that was). I was kind of surprised at that. I couldn’t tell if they were really playing or not.

I cleaned the kitchen during the halftime show.

Great choreography. Eminem was okay. I love MJB but that was not her best. The whole show had a theme. It you're not a fan of that type of music, then it would be a fail. I try to be objective but.... I've seen better. It was well done. I can't make some of the comments I'd like because it would be polarizing and wrong. I'm not saying anything bad. I'm just saying the theme was kinda ghetto, never mind. Couldn't even hear it because we were at a bar where the sound couldn't be turned up. So then we left and now I'm at home and watched. Not my fave... but that's okay. I don't have to like everything..... right? It's funny watching super multi-gazillionaires singing to people (who paid $35,000 a seat for tickets) about how hard life is.....

 

[davismanLV]

I would've based the whole show on this song..... and get everyone's interp..... but no. Still, it's a good song.

 

[DrumBob]

I didn't watch one second of the game or the halftime idiocy. May daughter told me it was hip-hop. Ugh.

I don't give a sh** about sports in any way, shape, or form. To me, too many pro athletes are overgrown, overpaid juvenile delinquents.

I agree with a lot of this. Most of this, in fact. Someone asked me about the game. Game? Today? Sunday? They said THE SUPER BOWL!!! Oh.... is that today? LMAO!!

I was watching a 1979 Hong Kong soap opera, starring Chow Yun Fat! Episode 27 of 80!! Reading Chinese standard mandarin subtitles while listening with my limited house Cantonese to the Cantonese audio, I was just barely able to understand what is going on. Wife provides English translation for me too!! It’s hard but I am learning.
Written Chinese (like the subtitles) is a different language than spoken Cantonese, (there is no formal written Cantonese, just a bastardized slang pidgeon writing that is never used for subtitles) so it is like reading one language while listening to another and putting them together to try to understand. Crazy!!!

Many of the songs played during the halftime show were popular TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO. If you're over 40 then you are not the target demographic, just like your parents were not the target demographic when your favorite music was popular on the radio.

When your favorite music is played in elevators and supermarkets, it's time to accept that you've moved past the center of the bell curve that the entertainment industry uses to decide what should be played on popular media.

Used to be a huge sports fan growing up in the LA area. Primary I’m talking about the ‘60s, and baseball was top dog. Football & basketball were like second class citizens by comparison. Football at it’s basics is a beautiful game, but unfortunately today, the testosterone fueled posing, preening, yelling, screaming, spiking, taunting, etc, that passes for “sportsmanship,” rather reflects our society at large. Give me a gracefully humble Sandy Koufax (even after the most dominating of performances) any day of the week.

That said, I mowed the lawn & watched most of the second half. It can still be a beautiful game when reduced to the basics, but you’ve sure got to wade through a whole lot of BS to get there.

 

[LeFinPepere]

I've never heard "Voodoo Child slight return" or "Pygmy Twylyte" in a supermarket. I'm still very young! We don't have Super-bowl tv show here,only the "Victoires de la Musique", which can engulf you in a very dark depressive state.Deaf trend-mongers'stuff....

 

[Balderdash]

Halftime Show was like a root canal!

You have just cheapened root canals !! When you have a root canal, they adequately prepare you for it so it won’t be so painful and you can at least look back on it and be glad you made it through the experience.

I just went and hugged my Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore CDs.

What?! None of you guys enjoy having lousy poems shouted at you while chunky dancers gyrate?
