We went from old (Janet Jackson) to older (Paul McCartney) to nearly dead (Rolling Stones). I guess the NFL understands the demographics of the people who will be in attendance in Detroit. I’m surprised it’s not eminem or Kid Rock but they might be too hip for the corporate fat cats who invade the Super Bowl every year.
I believe next year, the entertainment will be Janis Joplin and Jim Hendrix.

hey — Joplin and Hendrix would be a better halftime show dead than almost anything today alive.
If we are going with bands that have been washed up since Hugh Hefner was still a virgin, then why not invite R.E.M.? As an R.E.M. fan, nothing would be better than to see R.E.M. at halftime of the Super Bowl get booed off when they play the Wanderlust and every other crappy song from Around the Sun. Break up already, please!!! Spare me another ATS, or another Reveal, or another Up….
REM — Reveal was terrible but Up and Around the Sun are good albums.
REM would never do it though. They don’t sell out.
spph — Dude, I’ve lost all confidence in you. Up was alright; I’ll give you that. But Around the Sun? That had almost as many horrible songs as Monster. Maybe I’m just over-critical of anything not New Adventures in Hi Fi or Lifes Rich Pageant, or maybe I just am insulted that R.E.M. would start making horrible Adult Contemporary music….
New Adventures in Hi Fi is the best album since December 8, 1976 though….
Rolling Stones — Addressing bsd987…..where have u Been???? REM?? I am so sorry that you haven’t been paying attention….. Keith Richards could party circles aroung you…what a hater you are…But I bet u are watching the show and wishing you had a rat’s ass of a chance of ever getting the ladies they do…hit back if u feel necesary………….sweet sam
