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.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
The Super Bowl can go &$#% itself for all I care.

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.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
I'm relieved to see we're now discussing something concrete & substantial, like Katy's rack! (certainly not her talent)

You guys act like you've never seen a brunette with tits. Big deal.......lol
I just wanted an excuse to post that pic.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
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.
Never play slap bass around bears, you'll make them VERY angry.
Tell us how you really feel
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!
