So if they're not playing until halftime, Who's not really on first after all.

Uh huh........ ??? :(

My guess is that people that don't like these shows don't like these bands????

2006: The Rolling Stones
2007: Prince
2008: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
2009: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
2010: The Who?
Not at all. I like all those bands (with the exception of Prince) but a 10 minute "performance" at the SB doesn't really appeal to me.
I view the halftime show much like I view the pregame show --- an overproduced spectacle short on substance.
JMHO .... I liken it to having two football teams come out and scrimmage during intermission at one of Jimmy's show.

I always thought they were also known as The Guess Who but after googling I see that's not right :roll:

Now more than ever it seems Buffett would be just as a good choice as the last few but I don't really care.
The Guess Who was a totally different group and not nearly the legendary Band the Who is/

saw them a few years ago--when it was good, it was wonderful, but Daltrey was really straining his voice and at one point he was off stage (they claimed it was headaches) and they did 2 or 3 songs without him which was weird.

Always will love The Who, a big part of my life's soundtrack


but...


I'm getting a little tired of the NFL marching out 60+ year old legends to do these whipped-up frenzied halftime gigs. :roll:
It's pretty clear who the league cronies are schmoozing with these recent choices of McCartney and The Stones,
and their appeal is unquestioned (but to older fans mostly), and the performances are usually too rushed, and disappointingly, lackluster.
The last really great live performance I would credit was Prince a couple years back.

I'd like to see the NFL mix it up more, blending young hot artists in collaborations with some classic acts,
similar to what we just saw go down at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame concerts last week. (i.e. Fergie with Mick Jagger doing "Gimme Shelter").
Line up 5 duets on dueling stages to make it seamless, and throw in surprise, unannounced guest artists.

Bring back a real sense of unplanned excitement! That's when live music is at it's best! 8)

Will Pete Townsend be allowed into the country? I know there was some talk about him not being allowed in because he is a registered sex offender.

Feds already determined they will allow him in....so now those against him playing are petitioning Florida's Governor...but I'm sure at this late date, they'll let him play.....

Wow? When did word "p***" become a censored word? Maybe I should have said "dirty pictures" or "dirty movies"?

Makes sense....The Who songs.....CBS.....CSI theme songs....get it ?
Kinda like a 'product shot' wrapped inside a performance inside a network sponsorship enigma.
