Once again, it's time for a Super Bowl. Which means it is time for another Super Bowl halftime show.
Let you young people forget, there is ONE halftime show performance that stands head and shoulders above them all. Prince. No lip syncing. In the rain. Prince: "Can you make it rain harder?"
Fantastic talent, at the very top of his game. He died way too young. I was privileged to see him play his final concert, at the Fox in Atlanta.
Last year I watched Rihanna's performance. So much commentary online about whether she was pregnant. Very few people commenting on the fact that she didn't sing a word. That show was terrible. All recorded and lip synced, which I guess they all are nowadays. :( I think she's great, of course. But that show was just a recording with no performance at all. She barely moved (understandable why, but still).
Anyway here's the video.

Scroll down, the comments are priceless.
Pretty dope to see God is a Prince fanThe fact that Prince was dry in the middle of rain storm is legendaryHe only got wet in the waters of Lake MinatonkaEven the rain isn't worthy enough to touch princeI imagine mother nature was very honored to have been an integral part of a Prince concert.It was mighty kind of Prince to allow them to play a football game during his concert.Every Super Bowl performer before and after will never come close to this. This isn't just a great Super Bowl performance. It's one of the greatest performances in music history.I come to watch this after every superbowl halftime show just to remind myself that no halftime will ever compare to how incredible this performance was
