I haven't followed this too closely, but...



Okay, I can't imagine liking his music, even though I must admit I haven't heard it, so I can't say that for sure (I'm not much into rap, except maybe if you count Linkin Park-style, where you've got some nice melody intertwined with the rhythm, and I've been told that's not rap, in which case I like it very much), but Puerto Rico is American, and people who say otherwise are idiots. Many non-US acts have also performed at the Super Bowl.

It's just a music act anyway. Not some reason that has to get all political and crazy. It's just a musical act at a football game, meant to be fun. Really, folks, this is why we can't have nice things. If people would stop losing their shit over the small things and just be a little kinder to one another, the world would be a better place.

Weird thing of the day

I got a text from a Puerto Rico area code with a picture of two guinea pigs in a plastic laundry basket. Later a got a phone call without a voicemail, and then a text in Spanish asking if Kentucky is flooded. Obviously, they're meant for someone else, but it was an odd combination.

I did reply, using Google Translate. I do understand some Spanish, but I've forgotten a lot of grammar in the 30-odd years since I took it in school, so I hope this makes a certain amount of sense.

Sí, Kentucky está inundado. Estamos cansados de la lluvia. Sin embargo, creo que los textos que enviaste fueron para otra persona. No conozco a nadie en Puerto Rico. Es posible que desee verificar el número al que está enviando mensajes de texto. Gracias.
We'll see if there is a reply or whatever. :)
