This was originally part of an article I wrote for the finalist competition about Super Bowl halftime shows. Since this really got off the topic, I cut it out. I recently found out the name of this act is Big Rich or something like that. For some reason, I've noticed people have been talking about them in their comments to various blogs so this is my contribution to that discussion. I wrote this before I saw any of those comments.
Unfortunately, football was not the only sport that was affected by the Janet Jackson fiasco.At last year’s NBA All-Star Game, they had a country singer perform with a rapping cowboy.If you didn’t see it, it was even worse than it sounds.At first glance I thought the rapping cowboy was Karl Malone (that is the honest truth, no joke).But then I realized he was using correct grammar so it obviously couldn’t be the Mailman.It was weird – you never hear someone rap using proper English while clearly annunciating each word (except for in local radio commercials and Will Smith videos).
Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Nelly were sitting courtside while this was all taking place.Unfortunately, the cameras didn’t show them but I imagine they would have looked like Pete Carroll after the Reggie Bush lateral. Too bad 50 Cent wasn't there because I have never seen a brawl with gangsters and cowboys before. In this case, the gangsters would obviously be favored, but if they were real cowboys who rode horses and chewed tobacco, I'd have to give the edge to the cowboys (assuming it was just a fistfight, no guns allowed). It would be close, though.
Then to top off the show, a little person came out and started dancing around in a cowboy hat and chaps.What?People are protesting dwarf-tossing but they let this go?Is there a single person who wouldn’t rather be thrown 30 feet in the air than be forced to prance around on stage with a country singer and rapping cowboy in front of millions of people?Seriously, we need to get our priorities straight, people.
The topper came after the show, when Charles Barkley said: “I hope whoever was in charge of the Halftime show is getting their resume ready.”
Leave it to Charles to say it how it is lol. I didn't see it myself, but I can tell you the group is called "Big and Rich" and the little person is a part of the band. I swear on all that is holy, I only know this because my sister is a country fan, I am big on Alice Cooper and classic metal fan myself!!
the rapping "country" singer was Cowboy Troy...he, big and rick, and the "little person" are all members of "musik mafia". basically a collection of misfits rock, pop, country, and rap wouldnt have anything to do with. by the way, for any guys that think gretchen wilson is hot, she's in it too, as is hank williams jr and kid rock.
