Thanks for sharing this SpinningWheel. This site has a lot of live perf videos, quite impressive! Have bookmarked it, thanks again!

You're welcome!   It looks almost like he's using a monopod / tripod to steady it and maybe not a high quality phone, but a legitimate video camera because he's also zooming it in and out effectively with no shaking.   The video quality is that good.   I bookmarked it too and plan to spend more time exploring it later.

The Grey Cup has had halftime shows headlined in the past by Lenny Kravitz, Black Eyed Peas, One Republic, Imagine Dragons, Keith Urban, The Lumineers/K.Flay, Tyler Hubbard and Jordan Davis.  None of these are Canadian artists.  

So, in fact Green Day headlining for the half time show is not really an "interesting" choice for a "Canadian" event at all.  I think they are an excellent choice...

On the contrary, I think this is an excellent choice. I'm just surprised that such an iconic Canadian tradition going back to 1909 couldn't find a Canadian act to do the halftime show. But for those who will be there, I can only say, "I hope you have the time of your life." 

Now RA, there you go trying to make this political.  As noted above, the Grey Cup half time show has had many non Canadian headline shows over the years.  Why would you assume this automatically means they can't "find" a Canadian act?  All of a sudden you are concerned about cancon!!??  I think your motivation is for other reasons.

Guess you haven't watched a Grey Cup half time show in many years and unaware that having a band like Green Day really shouldn't be that surprising. 

Some tired lazy talk show host or news writer will try to make an issue out of this, they always do.  But the show will go on regardless..  GO ARGOS!!

I actually heard John Moore comment on this Monday morning about the non-Canadian act. So I guess I'm not the only one who had the same thought. 

Also confirms the last line of my post......Moore isn't exactly lazy, but he does seem tired or bored and not into the show as much anymore.
