We men were outside on the back deck playing darts and drinking bourbon while the womenfolk sat inside and watched the halftime show
I like MJ more than Prince and it isn’t close. But the Prince halftime show is possibly the best performance of all time (or second compared to his Harrison RRHOF performance).
You can argue that Chappelle Show introduced him to a new demographic and you'd be right but anything more than that is silly talk.
Michael Jackson put on a great show and changed the halftime show forever but he lip sync'd the entire time. Prince sang the entire time and played guitar in a downpour.
the numbers were higher because it was a good album (after two lackluster ones) and juked numbers. musicology was also released early in 2004 so the positive reception and radio plays were already brewing before the chappelle skit fun theory, though
musicology (the first single) was released a month and a half after the Chapelle episode. The album was released two weeks after the first single.
It’s weird to me that people were questioning if she was pregnant after the show. I knew she was pregnant as soon as the camera got a close up of her. That was very obviously a pregnant belly.
He popped up at a Jazz night I was assisting with and was usual Prince - absolutely murdered and just exited quickly afterwards like "yea, that's what the fuck I do" Wasn't paid or anything, was just attending and knew some of the musicians and jumped on. Way up there for coolest experiences I've had in this business.
I run this man's entire life and was not aware he was such a Prince diehard prior to this thread Last year is probably still my #1 but Prince was ridiculous in a very different way of course
Prince single handedly made it rain just so he could play purple rain in the rain Nobody can top that
The OG superb owl halftime wardrobe malfunction was Janet’s titty, and that would eventually spawn YouTube.
Also worth mentioning that was a p bad halftime performance: Janet, Puffy, Nelly, Kid Rock, Timberlake, and Janet’s right boob.
As I said on the socials, it’s so weird that a generation that grew up on Queen, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, Ozzy Osborne, KISS and so many others were so offended by a crotch grab. Makes me think it’s was about more than that honestly.
Their lord and savior Donald J Trump was criticizing the halftime show before it happened. Plus, they are always looking for something to be outraged over no matter how fake it is.
