I am sick and tired of 90 year olds trying to rock out the Super Bowl halftime shows. The Stones, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and now Bruce.....NO MORE! I am sick of watching the geezers try and pretend it is still 1986. IT ISN'T!
Super Bowl Halftime entertainment search committee, you can STILL roll with younger bands, you just have to be smart. I could have told you AHEAD of time that the JT/Janet Jackson with Nelly would end badly, even if the Nipplegate incident had never happened. It just wasn't a good idea those people. You can still pick bands under the age of 50 without worrying about inappropriate things happening.
Of course, I am bringing some ideas to the table, because that is how I roll....
How about Dave Matthews Band? He could do a 12 minute set of Satellite, a new song off of his album of the time or Tripping Billies, then finish with Ants Marching. He inspired so many other musicians and was THE band of the 90s.
OR we could go with Kayne West. He puts on QUITE a show (as long as he shows up on time) and could do Stronger, Touch the Sky, then a new song (Heartless?), and finish with Golddigger. You KNOW everyone would sing along! He's a showman!
How about Nickelback? Rockstar, Far Away and finish off with Hero. These guys get my nod over Fallout Boy or Panic! at the disco. The kids like them and the adults could tolerate them IMO.
Matchbox Twenty could be a nice halftime show (you know THIS generation's Rolling Stones). Street Corner Symphony, Push, How Far We've Come
But my ULTIMATE halftime show would be BON FREAKING JOVI! It satisfies the old foggies, but the kids like that they can still rock it out. You KNOW John is a football fan (he owns an AFL team) and they'd rock it. Start it out with Wanted:Dead or Alive. Do STRAIGHT to Livin' on a Prayer. Segue into You give Love a Bad name, then end it with Blaze of Glory. I might try and get Always in there, but not good for the Super Bowl. And trying to change "Saturday Night" into Sunday night would be too campy. But seriously, you are telling me that the set of Wanted Dead or Alive, Livin' on a prayer, You give love a bad name and Blaze of Glory wouldn't just kick arse? You are CRAZY!
This has to happen. I will call the Super Bowl Committee myself to petition for Bon Jovi. It MUST happen. Come on guys, let's make this happen.
