Salon.com: New York Times music critic Kelefa Sanneh says Prince's Super Bowl performance will "surely go down as one of the most thrilling halftime shows ever; certainly the most unpredictable, and perhaps the best," and says it was "yet more proof that Prince has made that familiar journey from pariah to American treasure."
Let me get this straight - a skinny guy who looks like he stole Aunt Jemimah's 'do-rag plays Guitar Hero in the rain, and it's "the most thrilling halftime show ever"? K wanted to watch, as she's a Prince fangirl (one of those subjects I will never understand, and don't want to), and after staring in puzzlement at some of her initial squeeing, I took sadistic pleasure in making her watch the whole debacle. "You made your bed, now lie in it."
What is "unpredictable" about some has-been doing a DJ Trainwreck number on a handful of songs that weren't that interesting twenty years ago? Isn't that pretty much the established halftime formula these days?
And what was up with the purple guitar? In silhouette, it looked like Little Man Prince was playing with a gratuitously oversized Nightcrawler-themed double-penetration sex toy.
