"I freely admit that Bad Bunny is not my jam. But that's only because I completely lost touch with popular music sometime during the first Obama administration. I stopped watching the Grammys years ago because they made me feel old and out of touch, and the musical guests on, say, Saturday Night Live often baffle me. However, in the local bistro in which I watched the Super Bowl, the pure joy of Bunny's halftime gig proved infectious even to those of us who did not understand a word of what he was saying."
""The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day.""
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance generated infectious joy among viewers, including those who did not understand the Spanish lyrics. A longtime disengagement from contemporary popular music is described, with claims of abandoning the Grammys and feeling baffled by modern musical guests. The president issued a forceful public condemnation of the halftime show as an affront to American greatness and standards. Conservative social media promoted an alternative halftime suggestion featuring Kid Rock. Freestyle skier Hunter Hess is noted for competing in halfpipe-style events often explained with geometric terminology and was asked about the country's condition.
