I bet more people were pooping than watching either.
I rarely watch the halftime show either. But I usually poop first thing in the morning. I know, TMI.

Because just like you, we are from the older crowd and generally these half time shows are geared for younger audiences.
As was mentioned this halftime show had many artists performing. And all of them have younger fans. But I mean, I get it.
The NFL has to think about the future. As much as it pains us to admit it our generation won't be around much longer. As for myself I've gotten to the age that fighting the crowds and paying high prices for everything from tickets to parking to food and lodging, I rarely go to a concert anymore unless it's a special concert by an artist on my bucket list. It wasn't that way when I was a younger man.
If you combined the artists performing at that halftime show and added up all of their Grammy's, all of their streams being purchased and all of their sales to date, you would find they are some of the most popular artists on the planet. I'm not a fan of any of them. But having them put on the halftime show makes perfect sense.
On the other hand you had Kid Rock as the headliner of the other show. Someone I was also never a fan of. A man who was so triggered by a Trans person doing a promo for Bud Light on the internet he had to break out his automatic rifle and use a case of Bud Light for target practice. The man who had a photo op at The White House in what looked like a Temu knock off of an Evel Knievel outfit. I understand that there were other artists but this was their headliner. The face if it all. What a fool.
You see, I remember my dad coming to my room when I was fourteen listening to Black Sabbath. He called it noise. He said he didn't understand a word of it and asked me how the hell I could stand to listen to that. As time went on I understood that. I understood that back in the 50's they called R&R the devils music. That parents during that time didn't get the music. I understood my dad didn't get my music and I don't get rap music and some of what is popular today.
But see, just like the generations before me, I'm not supposed to. And unlike the generations before me I'm not going to attack this generation or degrade their popular music and artists just because I don't get their music. I'm not going to go along with some invented sense of outrage that make my generation look more childish than today's youth is.
I think my dad was very smart man. I learned a great deal from him. But when it comes to him understanding and liking my music, he didn't. And he let it be known. And like I said, he was just like the generation before him in that regard.
I don't get today's music either but then I'm not going to follow along with someone throwing a tantrum about it. I remember how that was when people did to my music and I don't want to be "that guy".
