I watched the Super Bowl today. Not because I really cared about either team, but rather to see the way-too-expensive, way-too-short halftime show. I was appalled at what I saw. I was happy to see pop music pioneers Aerosmith on the stage. But I nearly cried when they were joined by the likes of talentless boppers NSync, Britney Spears, Nelly, and Mary J. Blige. (The last one is not nearly as bad as its predecessors.) It sickens me that the truly talented old are forced to have their coattails ridden by the new, all for the sake of making them seem more appealing to an audience that hates them. The hypocrisy of this world really annoys the fuck out of me. But like all who have complained about this in the past, I pride myself in being part of the society I loathe so much … 🙂
