superbowl half time show

Sign in to disble this ad
im not a huge bruce fan, but it seemed like a pretty good performance. i was very pleased to see the entire max weinberg 7 in attendance.

but the parts that stood out to me the most where when bruce was knelt at his mic stand, making a very phallic gesture out of it, and later proceeded to tea bag a camera man.

this will be the 3rd time in recent memory that something risque happened at this halftime show. prince stood behind a white screen with his guitar neck sticking out, also in a phallic manner (which to be honest.. was expected. hes prince. he exhales sex.) and of course the janet jackson incident.

i find it pretty humorous that every year something of a sexual nature gets by. makes me wonder what next year will bring.

Prince is Prince. It's to be expected. But I think Bruce's incident was just a byproduct of being nearly 60 and not having good body control.

As for the cameraman, I'm almost surprised in this day and age that he hasn't filed a lawsuit.

"Yes, that was when it happened your honor. And in the collision my camera eye was damaged significantly by Mr. Springsteen's geriatric crotch."

The camera tea-bagging cracked me up, honestly.

Oh, at least it was an accident and not some attempt at being "risque"

I heard they were supposed to explode and reveal a sliver/gold man thong with the words E Street printed across the ass, but that they DID in fact malfunction so he went with Plan T-Bag.

Im not a big bruce aficionado, but i think that guitar was probably actually road worn, not worn in a factory. Not sure if you were being facetious. Anyone else think he was lip syncing, for at least the first song?

well there was the teabagging and the part where he had a mic stand for a wiener (about 1:18 in the vid posted). the latter was the one im lumping into the risque half time show antics. the teabagging just made me laugh something fierce.

The knee-slide into the camera was hilarious, but the face Bruce made afterward was even better imo
