Michael traveled around the country, filming families from all walks of life who have been impacted by gun violence.  He then spent weeks going through frame-by-fame and self-editing, to create a piece that moved his soul and justly told these survivor's stories. 

So Sunday was the big game, The Patriots VS The Rams at Super Bowl LIII (cue the fireworks)! Parties were thrown, commercials were blasted, and Maroon 5 was the performance for the halftime show… eh? Through morbid curiosity, I sat down to watch the performance, to only regret it 1 minute in. It also didn’t help to be tricked thinking I was going to hear “Sweet Victory” from the legendary Spongebob Squarepants episode, only to have “Sicko Mode” played instead. However, as boring as it was to watch it,  the real fun was seeing some of the reactions on twitter. To make it easy for you I picked out some of my favorites of the night.

The best comment comes from the legend, Sebastian Bach.

 

At the end of the day, I have to point out one good thing that came out of this performance. It was reported that Maroon 5, the NFL, and Interscope Records made a $500,000 donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America ahead of Sunday's big game. For that alone Maroon 5, I think we can all forget a bad show at the Super Bowl… but I won’t forgive Travis Scott for “Sicko Mode” over “Sweet Victory”.
