Janet Jackson has ruined Super Bowl entrainment forever. Ever since her nipple flash (which no one wanted to see anyway) in Houston, the Super Bowl has had a snore-fest of a half time. All the names that have played are big names, who make great music, but are terrible choices for a half time show.
The Rolling Stones
Paul McCartney
Prince
Tom Petty
If they weren't musicians, they'd most likely be playing bingo at a local retirement home. I can understand that the NFL wants to be cautionary after Jackson's "malfunction", but this is too extreme.
If you went around the NFL and asked players what they listen to before a game, I doubt any would say Paul McCartney or Prince. They listen to rap or rock, music that will hype them up.
Football is a contact sport, that fans enjoy getting their adrenaline pumping for. When you put on a show with a man and a piano, you might want to go to bed rather than knock someone out of their shoes.
The NFL needs to reconsider its half time show stance, and start putting on acts that will make the players and fans pumped for the second half. I doubt bands like Foo Fighters, or rappers like Kanye West will expose themselves or rip off a girl's shirt. They should wisely choose a band, or performer that will put on a worthy show without the producers sweating over the phone directly connected to the FCC.

football is about as american a sport you can get; bruce springsteen's about as an american artist as you can get.
who should play?
if they weren't playing music they would be playing bingo. It's true, the youth is wasted on the young. Anyways never got the rock concert idea at half time anyways. That show has nothing to do about fans and everything to do about the non-fan who only watches this one game. It adds three more commercials to line the pockets full of money for the NFL. How about a great marching band, I understand OU has a good one, if they can't pull it off I know The Ohio State University's band can.
i agree with you wholeheartedly, the halftime show has been incredibly disappointing and just boring in general since that unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
