The halftime show is part of the entertainment package and are charging big bucks for. They just come off as cheap.
    Exactly.

    And musicians who pay to play come off as desperate, whether it's for their friends at the local saloon or for the Super Bowl. There's a galaxy of difference in terms of profile size, but it's the same shit when it comes right down to it.

    Whatever happened to pride (says a guy called "No Pride)? I'm talking about the NFL AND the bands/artists that would agree to that arrangement.

If you're not a fan, I don't know why you'd care (other then just to have something to moan about) I AM a fan and I don't care what happens with the halftime show. That's where I stand. It is what it is.

    I'm going to go now and let you and spellbound play with your ball. Enjoy!

    I started reading the article and got as far as this: ....This year’s three candidates are Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay......

    I just threw up in my mouth a little. Whatever, I watch the game, then reach for the remote once the clock ticks down to zero in the first half.

    I think he likes me. He pays more attention to me than my kids.

    I don't have the heart to tell him that he's not my type. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

    Wouldn't Going For the One (the song) with its sporting theme be more appropriate?

    I'm relieved to see we're now discussing something concrete & substantial, like Katy's rack! (certainly not her talent)

    Unless they stick to stuff off either Attahk or Merci, they're gonna have to do a severely truncated version of something, or perhaps a medley.

    Pay-To-Play, a ridiculous abomination that MUST be stamped out at ANY level, harmful to musicians trying to make anything of a living and build an audience, plus it devalues what you do in many people's eyes if you have to pay a venue owner to allow you to play, a ripoff of the lowest order for musician and audience alike. And the money-grubbing NFL trying to do this? PUUUHHHLEEEEEEEZE! Furthermore, there is NO SUCH THING as a good half-time show.

    Yes, my curmudgeonly side is holding court today, AFAIC the NFL can go to hell for all I care, ridiculous waste of time.

    As a huge fan of the game of football, I look upon the Super Bowl as basically the afterbirth of the playoffs. They have mutated a once great end of season game into an extravaganza for The Masses or I as call them; The Maggotry. The lowest common denominator music, commentary, commercials, "look everyone! Bright flashes and smoke" The halftime show is when I do laundry or take a massive. I am going to record it on DVR this year, wait 20 minutes and skip the BS and get to the game.

    Fuck the NFL as an greedy organization and fuck the Super Bowl show bullshit!
