[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why politics is so lame. A bunch of people on here pretending something was good because the other team doesn’t like it.

Prince’s halftime show was literally 1 million times better than this. Please let’s stop pretending this was any good just because Trump doesn’t like him. Liking art because of politics is how art dies.[/quote]

Who are you to tell people what they like and don't like? Do you accuse people who like Italian opera of being poilitical? What about people who are moved by a poem they don't 100% understand?

I don't personally care for Bad Bunny's music. I am old and obviously not his demographic - I am Prince's demographic and feltt that it was the best of show of all time when I watched it. But this performance was totally different and beautiful and I'll never forget it. It was like a theatre with vignettes of Puerto Rican and Latino culture. It exuded joy and community - joy in community. It told stories, many stories. I, personally, may not have loved the music as much as Prince's (though I am sure many younger people liked the music more) but in an artistic way think this was "literally 1 million times" more creative and ambitious than Prince's.

[b]And also, if "love is stronger than hate" is the message of the resistance, do you really want to complain about that? Do you really find that as a political message so distasteful?? [/b][/quote]

No one said it was distasteful, just trite and lame, like everything is when you privilege politics over art.

I can admit the the Passion of the Christ is well shot and David Mamet writes - at times - great dialogue and One Battle After Another is a masterpiece. They are both great pieces of art from diametrically different political viewpoints. I don’t respect or laud either of them solely because they cater to my political side, which seems to be why 90% of people on here are saying they like Bad Bunny’s performance.

You are lame if you pretend to like art because it offends the other political team. Period. The people who turned into watch the insufferable Kid Rock’s redneck agitprop to stick it to the libs are equally insufferable.

America has fallen off so hard in the past 20 years. It is heartbreaking. Movies, rock, hip hop….everything is much worse than it was by any metric and cheerleading art strictly because it adheres to your politics is one of the main reasons.[/quote]
