Idaho Escapee: Whatta Lousy Halftime Show

Idaho Escapee: The commercials this year were okay, but what really grabbed me was how LOUSY Prince's halftime show was. There was no real flow, no real rhyme or reason for the cover songs he did, and his guitar was either not loud enough or way too loud, covering everything. This is one halftime show that coulda used a wardrobe malfunction.

DFO: I didn't watch a second of the halftime show. I figured the Powers That Be were scraping barrel's bottom to come up with another weird has-been from the '80s. Obviously, Prince made some sort of splash because people are wondering about a possible phallic moment. Whatever happened to old-fashioned wholesome? I haven't watched the halftime shows since Janet malfunctioned (I'm talking about her music, not her wardrobe.)
