I don’t want to be a buzz kill or anything this early in the day, but we’re still waiting on Jelly Roll to give his thoughts on politics.

It'd be pretty sweet if they added a horn section to Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds. This version of "Call To Arms" rips.

Please, *please* spend a lot of time doing a full public Republican investigation of a triumphant performance by the most charismatic human being on earth.
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

I have an incredible amount of respect and admiration for whoever was sitting in one of the production meetings for the Bad Bunny halftime show and suggested that the solution for getting all the "sugarcane" on & off the field was for people to wear them as costumes.

Right now, Miley Cyrus is the betting favorite to play halftime at LXI, which tracks because we are firmly in the Pop Star Era of Halftime Shows. I wrote about all the different eras & why we'll likely never see a rock band get the gig again.

Much like when halftime of the Super Bowl featured marching bands and themes, the days of rock bands performing are pretty much done

I’m sure that no GOP lawmakers will see this & therefore can’t comment on it.
I’m sure Karoline Leavitt will say it was a joke & then accuse everyone else of being racist for thinking Trump was serious.
I’m also sure we have a racist, demented human Garbage Pail Kid as President and it sucks.
