OT: Madonna is Your SB Halftime Act

[TruColor]

Quit grousing. It could be Tony Bennet or Mel Torme.

Well, Mel's dead, so...

Still - Mel's gravestone sitting up on the stage for 20 minutes might be better than most of these washed-up acts...

 

[TruColor]

The game is being played in Indiana, so John Cougar Mellencamp only makes sense.

Most Hoosiers (yes, I am one of them unfortunately) would suggest another Indiana-born act - Axl Rose.

But not me.

I'd rather see the remaining Jacksons get together again...

Sorta.

Oh come on she's older than I am.

Not me

Well, since it's too late to get the Drifters or the Kingston Trio, I don't much care who they bring in. I can ignore Madonna as well as anyone. If they're aiming at the stadium audience, I have no idea what act or acts would appeal to that demographic profile ( or, demographic profiles). Madonna makes as much sense to me as anyone. I doubt that the in-stadium moneyed viewers would drastically prefer any of the names mentioned here.

When I went to our SB I could give a rat's a$$ who was the halftime show and when I'm home I care less.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Then I still say Van Halen, David Lee Roth was born in Bloomington, Indiana

Those guys were musicians. Today's entertainers only make loud, rhymatic noises, bounce around like a kid on a spring animal and talk real fast.

i hate Bruce Springsteen to this very day just for playing after the worst play in NFL history.

Ain't that the truth.

I'm pretty sure our age is showing but, yeah, obviously you're preaching to the choir.

I'm 37 and I couldn't agree more. 90% of the songs you hear on the radio today have the "voice digitizer" because they sound even worse with out it, wearing skinny jeans,Lil Wayning, bragging about stuff that is pointless.
At least I had the 80's when there was still some decent rock coming out, and the real hip hop was a pleasure to listen to. Hard to find good new stuff these days, fo sheezy.

I don't care for Springsteen either, but I was sitting right in front of where Harrison picked that ball off and was too fumed to even give a damn who was playing during halftime.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Chrissie Hynde still rocks... I probably watch the Pretenders

 

[Capital Card]

Next year: Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Mark it down.

Actually, given the leagues propensity to only use aging/washed up musical acts, I think they are hoping to book Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber for 2041 game.

The only thing I'm interested in knowing about this upcoming Super Bowl half time is what we need to do to maintain our lead.

Go Cards!!!

JCM probably has no interest in playing on that stage. I don't think he wants to be famous anymore. He just wants to make his music, and it doesn't matter two licks if its popular.

Re: Madonna--who cares. I usually don't watch the halftime show even when it's a band I like. I caught the Who, they sounded terrible. I caught Petty, I thought he was great. Those are the only halftimes I've watched since...forever? I dunno.

 

[oaken1]

hmmmm...cross generational act with mass appeal......

ac.......boom boom....dc........AC...boom boom....DC............

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK!!!! FIRE!!!!


Yeah.......AC/DC would be a great choice for a halftime show.

 

[BigRedRage]

what is funny is at games, you wil;l never once hear madonna. Youll hear ACDC 3 times though. Lets not let ACDC play it.

Shoot....set up a stage in the upper decks....tie it in to the PA system....and play it live during the game.....

There are dozens of teams, college and pro, that play "Thunderstruck" during the kickoff. When I was at the Charger game last season, I couldn't get that damn song out of my head (partially, because they were scoring and kicking off to us a thousand times).

Ironic I was sitting right in front of where he scored. So close I was yelling he was down during the review and my son correctly told me his knee landed on Fitzy's foot.

it's unbeilevable how many things had to go WRONG for us on that play to allow it too happen.
