Brokeblog Event: The Week Formerly Known as Prince. That time Prince Followed Janet Jackson's nipple.



2007, the year Prince became the only act that could follow Janet Jackson's boob. 




 Sure lots of people remember Prince's halftime show. It was epic. 


 But before that, Feb 1, 2004 to be exact, Janet Jackson had a “Wardrobe Malfunction” and millions of people saw here nipple piercing. 



 Following this the NFL started what I like to call the “No one under 50 clause”


The following year they had Paul McCartney and no matter what you think of his work with the beetles, and thing I have seen without them is the definition of missing something.



 Hell Live and let die was the only song they let him play not in the Beatles catalog. Still not as good as pausing the VCR (That's what your parents call YouTube) and touching your self to a nipple piercing. 



Was that creepy? 


 Nah its wholesome there was a VCR and everyone who has ever been to a Blockbuster The didn't even make porn on VHS (What your parents call the internet)


The following year they had the Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones are good, but seriously half their band is gone at this point.


 Your Grandmother probably loved the Stones. Let that set in.


 Still not better than nipple. Not to take anything away from the Rolling stones. 


 Hell I love those guys. But watching 5 geriatric men gyrate and tell me they wanna get it “Started” will never (give me any) Satisfaction.



2007 enter Prince. 



 He was still old enough to feel safe to the NFL. 


 And, Prince, was not old enough to make me wonder if he would rather be home watching coach. 


 The Day of the show Miami got pounded by a rain storm. And it was not going anywhere.


  When they called him to tell him it was raining Prince said simple "Can you make it rain more?"  


Prince went out and preformed. Rocked out in the rain. Live guitars live mics, and heels on a slick ass tile surface. 


 He also played covers something which he rarely if ever did. Almost like he worked the rain into the show.  He comes through the floor.  Boom!





"Let's Go Crazy" then "Baby I'm a Star"
"Proud Mary"
"All Along the Watchtower"
"Best of You"

That's right the fucking Foo Fighters. Which is funny cause Prince has ditched Grohl more than once on making music together.



 Then The storm kicked it up. And so did Prince. 


 His rendition of “Purple Rain” will bring chills. Easily topping Janet Jackson's nipple. Finally. So here we go. Prince at the Superbowl.
