    Jackie “Moms” Mabley would be the star of my ideal Super Bowl halftime show

    Jackie “Moms” Mabley
    If there’s anything sports fans love, it’s edgy racial comedy from a tired-looking dead woman. But seriously, she was amazing.


    The Posies
    Many recent Super Bowl performers (Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney) have been classic rock artists with a penchant for anthems. While these artists have certainly contributed to rock history in a large way, most of them aren’t that interesting to watch any more. The Posies, on the other hand, is a band that’s been around for 20 years and is still able to rock harder than bands half its age. Their songs have enough pop hooks to get a stadium bouncing, even if those in the stadium might not know the words to “Hate Song” or “Solar Sister.”

    Moms Mabley would need a hype man to keep the kids interested.

    Personally, I think the boy’s talented. So what if we saw his nipple on national TV? I don’t see what the big deal is. Have you ever seen Olympic swimming? Some of those guys aren’t even wearing shirts!
