There are reasons why I call Sunday’s game the “Stupor Bowl”.
I enjoy the NFL and LOVE the New York Giants, but some things that go with the game are pretty ridiculous … like the choice of music acts for the halftime show.
Madonna? Puh…leez!
Isn’t her act kind of stale by now … if she ever WAS that great?
Instead of trying to continually push the boundaries of bad taste … which organizers constantly try to do (think Justin Timberlake-Janet Jackson … or don’t think about it).
I have a novel idea … why not try something new, fresh, different and WHOLESOME.
Go mainstream Christian rock with someone like the amazing Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Jars of Clay or even a cross-over act like Amy Grant?
I know, I know … they often sing about Jesus Christ and that could offend some people.
You know what? … TOO BAD!
Christians have put up with hours and hours of offensive programming, but are still the largest block of audience one can find … except in the pews on Sunday.
That’s another matter though … most people would enjoy a Christian rock act at the “Stupor Bowl”.
It could make the event a little more Super, actually, for a lot of us.
