Prince's Giant Guitar at the Superbowl

Posted on February 8, 2007

Prince's Superbowl halftime performance was excellent. He sounded great. No one had a wardrobe malfunction. He played "Purple Rain" in the rain. He covered a Foo Fighters song in a cool new way. He even sacrificed his hair covering to an adoring fan, while allowing his hair to get wet. It was totally G-rated.... or was it?

It was, except for the giant phallus that was revealed to the crowd in silhouette. Ah, Prince. We knew you hadn't really gone mainstream. Slipped that one right by the censors. Well played.
