Bridge the Divide Part 5

Rhythm Corps - Common Ground

This is the fifth in a five-part “ Bridge the Divide ” series that showcases efforts by artists to find common ground.

The Detroit-based alternative rock band Rhythm Corps reached its highest point on the music charts with “Common Ground.” In 1988, the song spent 17 weeks on the Mainstream Rock list and cracked the top 10.


The song begins:

Can we meet on common ground

Are our views so far apart

There's no room to be found

Can we speak without the sound

Of a world gone quite insane

Can we start settling down

I'll not play the scene where the

Threats start flying

You'll not have to scream

'cause we're not that stupid

Can we meet on common ground

Bad Bunny: Bridging Cultural Divides Through Song and Dance

Exactly one week before his Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performance, Bad Bunny made history at the 68th Grammy Awards after his latest studio album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTos, became the first Spanish-language project to win Album of the Year in Grammy history. Despite facing heavy criticisms that expose existing socio-cultural tensions in the U.S., Bad Bunny, born Benito Ocasio, will continue to make history as the first Spanish-language solo headliner at the Halftime Show, bridging sociocultural divides in the most Boricua way: through song and dance.

The NFL’s announcement of this year’s Super Bowl headliner in late September drew significant criticism, particularly from American audiences.
