The Weekend


Well, just watched the half-time Super Bowl, and I am impressed and (should I say it?), surprised by The Weekend.  Perhaps it's my biases at play here, but I am shocked and happy about it.  Or as I was coached at my job, my "unconscious bias".  I loved it!

Most boring halftime show I’ve seen in years. Kept my interest for about 30 seconds.


My feelings too.

I think I need a high end surround sound system. Maybe 2-channel isn’t enough to fully appreciate a spectacular like Super Bowl halftime. Maybe I need to buy more stuff!!!!!!!

Or not....



My daughter was meh on The Weekend as well. She considers Michael Jackson’s appearance before her time back in early 90’s the one to beat.

I think I recognized some tunes I have heard before there underneath all the production and glitz but not enough of a Weekend expert to say for sure.

I’ll stick to the studio versions of most things over live Super Bowl performances over the years. Granted sound and acoustics are much improved in newer NFL stadiums. I was in the sweet spot for Paul McCartney at Fedex Field a few years back and that was actually veeery good.  But most Super Bowl halftime shows to me are just a big hot mess....at least on TV.
Not a fan of SB halftime shows. Nor of Super Bowls in general.  though I like the football part. Exercises in being overblown and over the top and that’s pretty much it. Makes us look shallow and superficial which we are not, right?  Then again I come from Amish country so what do I know?
