Looks to me it's rainbow colored

Love Suleika and praying for good health.
Too bad the outstanding performance was interrupted by the orange technical problem.

Tough to do a jazz version of national Anthem but he did a good job

Y’all, it’s finally here! I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part2) is OUT NOW! This album is my heart my soul and a whole lot of late nights poured into music just for YOU. Hit that link in my bio turn it up loud, and let me know which track hits you the hardest. Love y’all more than words can say!

I highly suggest the 2015 episode of Radiolab, "American Football". It's a very in depth oral history of the sport and doesn't shy away from how much of a pillar of white supremacy it's always been.

I'll check out video of the musical performances later.

chadfreeman.bsky.social•40 days ago

Man, what a phenomenal artist!

aguasdemarco.bsky.social•40 days ago

Why? Beats me how the majority of people go on as if nothing was wrong. There are so many reasons why Jon Batiste (whose music I love) should have declined...

riverwinder.bsky.social•40 days ago

New Orleans is his hometown. There was no way he was going to turn it down.

Right wingers, “I just didn’t like it. I can’t really put my finger on why but I just didn’t like it.”

attysavvy.bsky.social•40 days ago

Hell yeah

aurorajardin.bsky.social•40 days ago

Love him, although the audio was poor.

gessica343.bsky.social•40 days ago

I almost broke down crying in my patient's room. absolutely beautiful

mawm-grandmawh.bsky.social•40 days ago

Jon Batiste is scary talented! Wow!

katgw.bsky.social•40 days ago

Beautiful

dumptrump3.bsky.social•40 days ago

Fantastic job!!!

annvh.bsky.social•40 days ago

he should have performed it while taking a knee

isosolies.bsky.social•40 days ago

Jimmi Hendrix at Woodstock, one of the greatest interpretations I've ever heard.

tmitchellx.bsky.social•40 days ago

It was a good performance

tojomom.bsky.social•40 days ago

He did a great job!

quellrumors.bsky.social•40 days ago

Any of the teams going to take a knee or are they too scared? That's how the weakest links fuck up freedom & justice 4 all. For a person (fuck title) is ashamed bc they are racist to remove the truth at a ass slapping game. Censorship.
We pay for his entertainment and all the whitehoods with him.

Trump’s there, how come no Russian national anthem?

dogbedsncheese.fightins.online•40 days ago

Was on the board at the Kennedy Center until *checks notes* a certain megalomaniac with an addiction to orange foundation removed him.

factsmatter12.bsky.social•40 days ago

Jon Batiste's rendition was amazing! Not noticed so much was him singing "LAND OF THE FREE" three times in a row to emphasize it strong in front of the corrupt, incompetent, narcissist, lying, weak convict felon destroying this country Part 2. Sequels are always worse than the original.

barelyhere.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes. I noticed and thought it was quite clever. Of course, now he’ll probably be deported.

realduckofdeath.bsky.social•40 days ago

Donold apparently left extremely early in the first half. Probably because he was upset the show wasn't centered around him.

mrsgladstone.bsky.social•40 days ago

Absolutely gorgeous! His piano was painted by the very talented Suleika Jaouad, his wife!

cerealgore.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes, and his talented wife, Suleika Jaoad, painted that piano he was playing

joannekilroy.bsky.social•40 days ago

I wondered if she did! ❤️

cynthiakrueger.bsky.social•40 days ago

Love him, such an amazingly talented man.

greatlakes88.bsky.social•40 days ago

Every American associated with the NFL is a sellout. Their racism against Colin Kaepernick has all been forgiven.

sebw1.bsky.social•40 days ago

Magnificent!

fseegers.bsky.social•40 days ago

mmm... did I see that right? During opening and half time show... it seemed more like famous liberal people who voted for Harris right? Batiste, Kendrick, Serena, Samuel L. Jackson. And even the MAGA backed Chiefs lost.
Wow, Trump can't stop losing.

palomastovall.bsky.social•40 days ago

Was he really removed from the kennedy center board last week?

barelyhere.bsky.social•40 days ago

All board members were removed to make way for Trump and his cronies. Because nothing says strong president like heading a major arts foundation. It’s not like we have a military or anything vital to the safety of the country.

rentop.bsky.social•40 days ago

It cost 18 million to send inflation Trump to Super Bowl and his idiots want to talk about government fraud? Sit the F down!!! #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLIX

2001spaceoddity.bsky.social•40 days ago

Why not mention the Kennedy Center thing you cowards

tantan65.bsky.social•40 days ago

Beautiful rendition

itsmethedarkages.bsky.social•40 days ago

Wonder if Trump just kicked him off his board seat at the Kennedy center in favor of…himself. (Pick-me desperation)

F’ing dip💩 grapist charlatan with the class and taste of fetid fulminated carrion.
