Yes, there was a real wedding during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show!!

 

 
How DARE they show proper human morality and people... being PEOPLE!!!!  I wanna see WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS!!!  I wanna see someone use PROFANITY!!!!  (though a few lyrics got beeped out during the performance).  
 
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Yes, the wedding depicted during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was real.  
 

 

I thought so!  I've been to enough weddings - It looked too real to be part of a production number set decoration!  Wonderfully pulled off!   

I do not speak Spanish, but I understood many of the lyrics (the brain was on a four second delay with translation).  The halftime show brought incredible energy to an otherwise lackluster football game.  And seeing a brief cameo by RICKY MARTIN put it over the top!  LOVED Lady Gaga! 


 

Onward!

Amazing, with all the incendiary crap going on
in the country and around the world,
it feels like his story has gotten no traction. 
I, for one, am glad the death penalty of off the table.  
 
And speaking of no traction...
 
(I should have put this out last weekend...)
