Nice ageist joke there. BannonsLiver Feb 12 #40

its not ageist in the slightest, in fact it is the opposite Celerity Feb 12 #53

It's the cry of every generation... Bettie Feb 13 #79

Lawrence Welk dead could be more interesting than Usher live. Sibelius Fan Feb 12 #49

I didn't watch it rockfordfile Feb 12 #24

Same Delarage Feb 12 #29

I turned to the History channel and watched Ancient Aliens during the half doc03 Feb 12 #35

When ludacris and lil jon came out was better, started kind of boring. radius777 Feb 12 #25

Loved the roller skates Johnny2X2X Feb 12 #33

The whole show was like that Prairie Gates Feb 12 #37

There are more of us seniors than those youngsters so they should have live performances by the big names like Wonder Why Feb 12 #36

I find these kinds of threads a little perplexing senseandsensibility Feb 12 #60

It's a typical 'slag anything post 60s/70s classic rock' ageist claptrap that dominates here when music's discussed. Celerity Feb 12 #63

I try to look at it from a wider perspective senseandsensibility Feb 12 #67

I absolutely disagree that all posters on here are 'progressives' in any remotely valid sense of the label Celerity Feb 12 #69

I rec'd your comments and agree. MerryBlooms Feb 12 #72

I listened to the game via radio, so I watched the halftime MerryBlooms Feb 12 #73
