When Nickelback was announced to perform the half-time show at this year’s Lions Turkey Day Game taking place on Thanksgiving in Detroit, many fans were not having it. Detroit has plenty of artists to choose from in the area, but yet they decided to go with Nickelback – the most hated band in America. Hey – that’s just what I’ve been hearing on the interwebs. One Detroit musician decided to take matters into his own hands by campaigning to replace the band via Twitter, but unfortunately, Mayer Hawthorne fell short this time around. While Nickelback will still be performing tomorrow, Mayer Hawthorne will be live streaming his own half-time performance tomorrow at the same time from his parent’s house. The set will include a medley of his favorite songs as well as songs that are dedicated to the city of Detroit.
I won’t be watching the games, but I will be setting my alarm to make sure that I am up for his performance.
