Who will be Super Bowl halftime act? Yes.

[Inky_Wretch]

No, not Yes. The Who, likely doing a medley of CSI theme songs.

And it's in Miami ...

What other suggestions would appeal to the 25-65 demo?

Led Zep? good luck.

I love me some Weezer, but they are foreign to most people under 45 or 50.

Buffett.

Buffett.

And it would be the right stadium for Buffett, too.

I was about to suggest that they could take it country, but that would probably mean Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Jason Aldean. So, maybe not.

Not a bad thought...

NO ****ING BUFFETT! EVER!

Piece of **** ruins every oceanside bar/restaurant in the US. Chomping on a grilled mahi mahi sandwich and then I get an earful of his generic, mediocre folk ****. Too bad that Jamaican (Bahamian?) plane didn't shoot his ass down. Dickhead.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

Dead. To. Me.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

And I'm assuming the show right after the Super Bowl will be one of the CSIs...

Good cross promotion for CBS. I'm a pretty big Who fan, but this is pretty boring.

Granted, there are only so many acts that can appeal to this broad an audience, so they only have about 10 bands/acts to choose from every year.

My sister has two tickets to see him a week today at the Air Canada Centre and she wants me to go with her. I think it's something like her fifth or sixth Buffet concert. I really don't want to go but she keeps pestering me (you have to know my sister to appreciate this).

I'll use your comments as a my reason NOT to go. :) Thanks

Here's what I always wonder when people get all excited over the Super Bowl preshow and halftime show.
If you claim to be the greatest sport in America and this is your greatest game and you always get great ratings because people who know nothing about football think they have to go to a Super Bowl party, why do you need entertainment to attract people?
Isn't the greatest game of the greatest sport supposed to be enough?

They haven't had Dylan yet. That would be fun. :D :D

 

[Mizzougrad96]

How big is the list they're choosing from? They have to be big. They have to be mainstream enough that people in their 20s won't think it's lame and people in their 60s will have heard of them. That limits the list considerably...

1. U2
2. Springsteen
3. Paul McCartney
4. Rolling Stones
5. Billy Joel
6. Sting/Police
7. Bon Jovi
8. Eagles
9. The Who
10. Stevie Wonder

Maybe Van Halen? I don't think Journey is big enough. Coldplay? Maybe... Zeppelin or AC/DC would probably be too controversial.

Only if he sings Rainy Day Women... ;D

I'd like a duet between Dylan and Tom Waits, with Shane MacGowan for three-part harmony.

Seriously, does the NFL think the halftime show draws more viewers than the SB would with no halftime mini-concert?

I didn't think he came around our part of the world too often. I much prefer his books to his music although I own the four-CD box he put out a few years back and it makes good summer listening (or occasionally in the winter if you want to feel like you're in a beachside bar), particularly stuff you don't hear all the time like "Elvis Imitators", "Pencil Thin Mustache" and "The Great Filling Station Holdup".
