I’ll set something straight right up top because maybe it matters. I found the Satanic performance at the Grammys (at least the part I saw) offensive. But that’s just me, and I know it didn’t actually hurt me in any way. I am just less likely to watch the Grammys.

I loved Rihanna’s halftime show. Of course, no halftime show will ever match Prince’s “Can you make it rain harder?” performance, but Rihanna did very very well because it wasn’t just a halftime show. It was a baby announcement!

Rihanna is pregnant! My daughter was the first to notice. I said, “No, that’s a costume change underneath. But after a few hours of reflection, it became obvious that the entire halftime performance was an announcement that she was pregnant. She was dressed in red, with her baby bump showing through the costume. Obviously, the red was symbolic of the warm, nurturing woman’s womb. The faceless dancers all around her, dressed all in white? Sperm. And she made several motions to something traveling up her middle to her abdomen. She also had her breasts protruding out from the rest of the costume, again – nurturing a baby. Congratulations to Rihanna, who is obviously excited and proud, as she should be.

But no, it was actually Satanic says the guest on Real America’s Voice, who is obviously also pro-life. After all, she wore red! (Which happens to be the same color of the party led by hedonist Donald Trump). And, and, she FELL! She came down from the sky, right? Right? FALLEN ANGEL!!! And what was she falling into, huh? She fell right into white angels!! (Wouldn’t the white angels be above her? Grrr, stop making sense!!!)  And, and, and that’s as deep as the analysis goes.

There is no explanation at all as to how this Satanic fallen angel gets all the white angels to dance in unison around her, clearly loving her. If the comparison was complete, wouldn’t the white angels be protecting the crowd from red Rihanna? Wouldn’t they act like she’s dangerous? They certainly wouldn’t be acting in concert with her.

Okay. I’ll stop. There is no comparison. She is pregnant, and it was one of the coolest “announcements” in history. But for those that must, must be offended, here you go:

 

Keep going, bro. The more he talks, the fewer people listen. Understood in its proper context, the halftime show – which drew more viewers than the actual game, was absolutely beautiful.

  1. I didn’t see the show. Hell, I stopped watching halftime shows long before I cut back drastically on the time I spend watching the actual Super Bowl. I have a thing about how long they got, and the impact those shows have on the actual game which is after all the freaking championship game. That impact by the way includes significant risk to player’s safety. But I don’t need to have seen this year’s show to know two things. First, hard-core conservatives would be offended that someone who isn’t WHITE was chosen for the gig. Second, because it was someone who wasn’t WHITE (and if not anti-“woke” or at least bland/neutral) conservatives will have found SOME reason, ANY reason to go bat-shit crazy. If it wasn’t her outfit being red they’d have found something else. Anything. But something they could howl at the moon about. I gather most people who watched enjoyed the show. That probably increases the level of manufactured outrage some conservatives are expressing. “Satanic?” I say to HELL (I wish I believed such a place existed) with THEM!

  2. I’m a big Rihanna fan. As a 69 y/o white man from Appalachia, I listen to Unapologetic all the time. Guess Rihanna has a broad following. I rather spend eternity listening to her, than ALL the braindead cult members. Lies fuel darkness. Funny how Jesus reportedly called the Devil ” the father of all lies”,(John 8:42-47), and these lying hypocrites worship the nazi who lies everytime he breathes. Not one has ever come on here to REFUTE that gospel passage. Not fucking one! Cowards. Fucking nazi loving evil pissants…and that’s the nicest thing I can say. As Rihanna says, who cares what you haters feel! I’ll call up J and make a deal. You go girl!!!!
