Marco Margaritoff at HuffPost (01.30.2025):

Louisiana lawmakers are calling past Super Bowl halftime shows “lewd” and “offensive” in a letter demanding “family-friendly” acts ahead of next month’s championship in New Orleans — and cited Jennifer Lopez’s and Rihanna’s past performances as “vulgar” displays. Published Tuesday by Nola.com, the letter was sent Jan. 16 to the heads of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, and was signed by 17 Republican legislators who said their constituents have “serious concerns.” The document argued that, while many people are “excited” about the upcoming event, there “are also hardworking taxpayers with children who have serious concerns about the fact that past Super Bowl halftime performances have been less than family-friendly.” The letter cited Lopez wearing “little clothing” and being “groped by male and female dancers” during her 2020 performance in Florida, and said she “made sexually suggestive gestures and performed on a stripper pole,” which “generated thousands of viewer complaints.” Co-headlined by Shakira, the show reportedly prompted some 1,300 FCC complaints — but was also viewed by more than 100 million people across the U.S., suggesting that less than 1% of people who tuned in felt the need to contact the government agency.

The signatories also decried Rihanna’s 2023 halftime show in Arizona, which she performed while pregnant, for “groping herself while she sang song lyrics that were so offensive that few Louisiana adults could read those lyrics before an audience without shame.” They declined to repeat the lyrics they characterized as offensive. The Republicans also said Janet Jackson’s 2004 halftime show in Texas, notable for a “wardrobe malfunction” that exposed the singer’s breast — would’ve violated their state obscenity laws, though that show was not held in Louisiana and took place more than 20 years ago.

Right-wing faux-outraged pearl-clutchers up to no good again.

Nathan Bowles Trio — Are Possible (Drag City)

Photo by Asia Harman

The Nathan Bowles Trio whips a buggy wagon onto interstellar highways, hammering rustic grooves into motorik repetition until they lift out of the past into the endless now. The trio first convened on Bowles’ 2018 album Plainly Mistaken pushing traditional instruments—banjo for Bowles, string bass for Casey Toll and drums for Rex McMurry—into sprawling psychedelic spaces. Are Possible is sparer but no less adventurous, paring back motifs to essence, locking them in for extended intervals, and allowing repetition to make them flower.

The opening “Dapple” distills a sprightly dance into its architectural elements, letting the play of banjo flourish amid resounding piano chords. McMurry’s drumming both grounds and elevates the agile interplay of stringed instruments; endless vistas reminiscent of his old band, CAVE, open out as he batters and thumps. “The Ternions,” an old-fashioned word for trio, by the way, opens out like a tarmac road stretching to the shimmery distance, its propulsion softened by flurries of lingering overtones. Toll’s bass gets a fuller hearing in “Our Air,” a cut that slants on low-toned plucking into a countrified form of jazz.

Still it’s in the two longer cuts that the trio makes its most indelible mark. “Gimme My Shit” builds in pointillist complexity, a hoedown shifting in and out of Reichian minimalism. “Aims” dips more freely into blues forms, letting the banjo and guitar carry a plaintive porch-lit melody. It gathers itself and swings out wide a minute or so in, a drone sluicing through pizzicato filigrees, a ritual beat carrying the tune forward. Indeed, the drums go knocking and walloping as the piece progresses, turning an inward-looking dreamscape into visceral, body-shifting triumph. All the elements come from pre-electric blues, but the end result is modern, almost futuristic.

The book of Matthew tells us that “With God, all things are possible,” and while I wouldn’t second guess the religious inclinations of any of these three musicians, there is an aura of immanence, of something more than banjo, bass and drums, that infuses these mystic tracks. Many things are possible, too, when you put together three such capable player and give them time and space to transcend themselves.
