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

Which ironically makes Green Day American Idiots.

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

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 10 points 18 hours ago

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.

That's disappointing

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Agreed, but still big brass balls.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They censored the word "mindfuck."

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

I know but they censored that too.

Maga heads would have exploded a la Mars Attacks

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day 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 7 points 1 day 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."
