House Speaker Johnson shows how out of touch he is when it comes to popular culture [View all]

House Speaker Johnson Calls Bad Bunny at Super Bowl ‘a Terrible Decision,’ Says It Should’ve Been Someone With ‘a Broader Audience’ — Like Lee Greenwood

House Speaker Mike Johnson has weighed in on the political debate over Bad Bunny being booked to play the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, saying it was “a terrible decision” — echoing the beliefs of President Donald J. Trump, who already established his own antipathy toward Bad Bunny.

Johnson did have some constructive input for who he believes should have been picked to perform by halftime producer Roc Nation: The Republican leader said ’80s country star Lee Greenwood would have been America’s clear and obvious preference, citing “a broader audience.”

Asked about the controversy outside House chambers, Johnson admitted that the globally popular artist who just hosted “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend was not really on his radar, but said he knew it was a bad call anyway.

Lee Greenwood hasn't had a hit in decades apparently. The only song of his I know is that smarmy "God Bless the USA."
