I hate Prince and I’ve always felt bad about it. Sure, I know that I’m supposed to think he’s great, but every time I hear one of his songs (maybe Purple Rain excluded) I think, “what is this horsesh*t?”
But then last night, I thought, “hot damn! I like him!” Sure, I still don’t want to hear any of his songs come on the radio (Because I will vomit in my mouth if I ever hear “Ladies and gentlmen we are gathered here together…blah blah”), but he sure was awesome and far more inspiring than the lukewarm oatmeal Rolling Stones.

Taylor, you need a new job. Or else sabotage your co-workers. Prince commands it.

You know, the people I watched the game with were mostly scratching their heads, some even surprised that Prince was still alive. But I agree with you. "Purple Rain" in the purple-neon infused Florida rain was fantastic. (Not to mention the symbol guitar's awesome suggestive silhouette on the backlit sheet.)

And am I wrong or did he play a Foo Fighters song?

Anyway, I think Prince really brought the halftime show back from the over-the-top, as-many-faces-as-we-can-afford-to-get, 30-second-clip-medlies and ridiculous stage antics that it has suffered from in recent years. He just played a fucking great set of songs. Sure, there was flash. But it's fucking Prince. It all felt right.

ummm... yeah.

Prince put any doubters to shame at the super bowl party i attended. conversation quickly veered from his height and (admittedly) ridiculous persona, to just what an amazing fucking performer he is.

are we all agreed that Prince should do every halftime show for the rest of forever?

I totally agree with you on the Prince halftime show, he was the ultimate performer even in the pouring rain. And at whatever age he may be he still looks and sounds great, but I wish he had sang Purple Rain, my favorite and yes I got the goosebumps!
