(Another Bruce nerd in the house!) I'm gettin' busted on for not matching up the theme of the songs to teams and players! It was all I could do to get the titles to match! Heh heh! Thanks for the great input Bosstowncaper! I'll see what if I can't do better during the Final Four. (Do people still say "busted on?") Hardcorest comment ever! (Another Bruce nerd in the house!)

So, the NFL just wants to play nice. That said I think the more recent shows featuring aging rockstars has been more entertaining -- Prince kicked ass 2 years ago, Petty was kinda lame last year - but Bruce always delivers a good show.

As far as old-ass Super Bowl Halftime performers, I suppose it's their way of playing it safe. Personally, I think the atmosphere is a just a tab bit too ridiculous and short for a live concert performance anyway - they should hire that Zhang Yimou guy who did the opening and closing ceremonies in Beijing! Something fun, artistic, and visually stunning. Heck, let Cirque Du Soleil do it, as long as Criss Angel isn't involved. Oooooh - How 'bout a symphony orchestra playing stuff while they show highlights from the season on a big screen. Anyway - I am thankful it's Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, and U2 instead of The Jonas Brothers, Toby Keith, or some horrible choreographed musical thing with dialogue, a narrative and a bunch of ridiculous costumes! Bruce could really deliver, though - if he pulled out one of his short, gut-punching stories and then dedicated a song like Badlands to those suffering through hard economic times (keeping the politics out of it) then it could be really great. Blah, blah, blah... Collie – Thanks for the compliment! As far as old-ass Super Bowl Halftime performers, I suppose it’s their way of playing it safe.

Why do they always have old ass performers? Why not um... who is hot for the lil ones right now? Oh The Jonas Brothers? LOL how cool would it be if they had the Jonas Brother perform with Springsteen, wickedly uncomfortable! btw, why Springsteen? Why do they always have old ass performers?
