Superbowl Yawn: Black Eyed Peas
While we all anticipate the Superbowl for various reasons — the gambling, the stakes, the game itself, the commercials — I’m more concerned with the interlude. That is, the Halftime Show. Superbowl Halftime Show’s seem tailor-made for people to complain about. The country’s aesthetic tastes…
What Super Bowl Match-up Do You Want?
