All I could think throughout the halftime show was that other than Lightfoot it's a sad state of affairs what passes for popular in music these days. After about 15 seconds of Bieber I FFW'd to the 2nd half, watched for a bit and then switched over to the Packers-Giants game.

Other than Gordie Lightfoot - the halftime show as appallingly pathetic. Putting a lip-synching twink Bieber out there to an audience of guys who've been drinking beer since 10am had to be the outright stupidest decision ever.
And Marianas Trench - really - what the fuck was that?! I watched 10 painful seconds and headed to the fridge for a beer.
At least they had Burton Cummings do the national anthem. Although even that looked amateurish - Burton reaching over to switch on his $50 keyboard...then fluffs the words to the anthem.
For a country like Canada that has a wealth of incredible music talent - it was embarrassingly represented.
