The official trailer for the Super Bowl Halftime Show:
It took me a few watches to get the deeper meaning of the halftime show advertisement, which is actually pretty neat with the chess pieces 'aligning' with the stars. The music though, was a pain for my ears. Also the ad was like 90 seconds to long LOLWell, that's just irritating as hell.
You mean everything isn't targeted to 65 year old white men?Every act is of varying interest. Let’s not pretend otherwise. Plenty of fans of these artists.
This just in: It's an all-rap and R&B halftime this year.
The 2022 Super Bowl will be played at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. It's a local gig for most of these performers.
That is my thought, based on the radio data that shows that their collective music genre is only preferred or used by a minority percentage of listeners.
On the other hand, after the last 18 months, it's sociologically an appropriate thing to do at this time. Those who don't agree can tune out and listen to some Morgan Wallen songs.
Disagree. Because one does not admire their 'music' does not mean one is a racist. Because I abhor opera (which I do) does not mean I dislike Italians (or Germans). OTOH, I love to visit the cantina and listen to mariachi but I would never want to live in Mexico.
65-year-old, cranky old menYou mean everything isn't targeted to 65 year old white men?
Remember the great Budweiser commercials of decades past? I loved those BUT, because I considered Budweiser utter horse piss, I have yet to purchase one. Those ads might have made a mark in my mind but never in my stomach.And for the ad industry it is a showcase for creativity. Those Super Bowl sports are on every participating agency's demo reel.
Target: 65 year old rappers...You mean everything isn't targeted to 65 year old white men?
Isn't Snoop Dogg around 50 years old? Apparently rap is starting to reach all ages!Target: 65 year old rappers...![]()
But that is why most significant agency buys cover various music and radio formats because they know that there is limited duplication and lots of fragmentation.I find it somewhat astounding that the advertising suits on Madison Avenue do not recognize the above but then Noo Yawk Sity isn't really Americana, is it?
The get-off-my-lawn brigade has entered the chat. 😂
Or in my case more like, GET the H3LL off my lawn and STAY the H3LL off my lawn (LOL!) Seriously though, this board appears to be populated primarily, obviously not exclusively, by the over 50 crowd. It's not unreasonable to expect that someone, like I am, who is still interested in DXing AM radio stations would be super-pumped about this line up. If this roster included my dream line-up of Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz and Smashing Pumpkins, I'm sure there would be an equal amount of disdain here as well as on message boards that target other age groups whose members have different musical tastes.
By the way, if I could barely make it through that excruciatingly long promo, there's no way I can make it through the entire half-time show. Guess I'll get a head start on washing those party dishes!
That's the perfect time to offer to go get more party snacks! "Okay, I'm off to the store, let me know when the third quarter begins!" 🤣By the way, if I could barely make it through that excruciatingly long promo, there's no way I can make it through the entire half-time show.

It took me a second to realize that was a prediction you was trying to sneak in there. And for the record, I agree. The Rams will go to the super bowl in their own city, much as Tampa Bay did last year. I would bet money on the Rams over-coming SF to get to Sofi stadium.As it will be for the Rams.
"Not real America" as one political party is fond of sayingOh, we got the “suits,” “New York” and “not real America”—it’s like one square away from scoring Boomer Bingo! 😃
I've been a San Francisco fan since high school but I don't think they can overcome the Rams. However, this playoff year has been quite the surprise so far so who knows?It took me a second to realize that was a prediction you was trying to sneak in there. And for the record, I agree.
