12. It's okay to have something not be your taste, and to say so. But to think there isn't any symbolism or care put into

Yesterday

the production just because you didn't understand it is a mistake.

For me it was the worst Super Bowl show I've seen since The Who phoned it in back in 2010. There were 200 million people watching and he couldn't smash an off the rack Les Paul?

You were disappointed with the Who because they didn't play like the Who. But to be disappointed by Bad Bunny because you already know his music isn't your thing just sounds like complaining.
