No, they didn't do the MAGA agenda bit.

Which ironically makes Green Day American Idiots.

Maga agenda? Isn't the lyric "redneck agenda"?

They've changed it in recent years, apparently changed it back for the half time show.

I suspect a lot of things would have been said had the artists been allowed to say what they wanted. I'm impressed and disappointed by their professionalism.

Then again, within the constraints of not saying anything political, it seems both Bad Bunny and Green Day did a decent job getting their points across.

To me it sounded like they did but the audio was censored.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They censored the word "mindfuck."

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That's disappointing

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

Agreed, but still big brass balls.

Maga heads would have exploded a la Mars Attacks

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

That'd be a beautiful moment but I'm picturing more of a Kingsman ending.

They would sing along having no idea it was making fun of them.

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lol they'd turn it into their anthem

Put it up there with "Fortunate Son" and "Born in the U.S.A."
