Fans were happy and got their groove on regardless of the beat down their team may have been receiving. This is why we name this one of the Top 5 Super Bowl Half-Time performances to check out.

If you’re already stocking up on your favorite Super Bowl Snacks in anticipation of the Super Bowl, or better yet, the HalfTime show, then maybe it’s time to take a stroll down memory lane to check out some of the best Halftime shows in the sport’s vibrant history.

And suffice it to say, there is no one even in the same league as the master mister Wonder. He is joined by the prodigious tap dancer, Savion Glover as well, and wows the crowd with his own supremely amazing tap dancing solo. Wonders never cease. 

 


Get Your Classical Groove On With Yo-Yo Ma

With inspiration coming from outer space and comets, Esa-Pekka created a galaxy of textures within the brass, strings, and percussion. The piece ends with a stratospheric high B-flat which will take your ears to another time and place. Listen when you want to escape the day, the neighborhood, or the universe.

Last week French dance producer, Cerrone announced he will be releasing a brand-new new album in 2020 called “DNA” and this first single, “The Impact”,  is a sneak preview into his newest musical inspiration. As the title hints, the song discusses climate change and bringing awareness to it. What better way to do it than to feature none other than the real-life Wonder Woman of Primatology and world-renowned anthropologist, Jane Goodall. 

The accompanying video takes viewers on a journey of heartache and inspiration, juxtaposing images of the earth’s beauty and tragic destruction. Its prophetic and mesmerizing message can’t be easily forgotten. May Cerrone’s new song inspires us all to not only shake our hips but also pick up litter while we do.


Area 51 Gets Raided (Sort Of)

What had initially started out as a prank, has now made its way into a legitimate news story as curiosity seekers and semi devoted protestors made their way to the famous and infamous Area 51. This iconic area is located in a remote part of Nevada on a highly classified, United States Air Force facility. The base has never been declared a secret base, but all research and occurrences in Area 51 are Top Secret. This level of secrecy has led to years of speculation that this is where some of the juiciest government secrets are held to this day. These include secret bombers, foreign technology, and even alien creatures and/or spacecraft. 

On June 27, 2019, Matty Roberts created a Facebook event that involved raiding the site in search of extraterrestrial life. More than 2 million people responded they were "going" and 1.5 million were "interested" on the event's page, (typical non-committers) and subsequent media coverage followed. 

Then came the internet memes:

You know you’ve made it when Brad Pitt is bleeding all over your meme.

We hear there’s a great program to trade-in your 2017 Subaru for an X-Wing Fighter.

However, on the day of the event, only about 150 people were reported to have shown up at the entrance to Area 51, with none succeeding in entering the actual site. Which just goes to show, people on Facebook are even flakey about going to visit their alien friends.
