It was already announced several weeks ago that the Rolling Stones would be featured for the Super Bowl halftime show. Up until last year’s performance by the legendary Sir Paul McCartney, the previous halftime shows were an absolute wreck. One year we got crap like Nelly, N’Sync, and Britney Spears. The year after that was the “wardrobe malfunction” with Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. After all that lame crap, the NFL finally got it right and made a show that actually had some class, handing the show over to the former Beatle. I for one thought it was great.
This year it’s everyone’s favorite old age rockers the Rolling Stones. Don’t get me wrong. The Stones are legendary, and I would take this over some “pop” or rap bullshit anyday. But here’s what I see happening. The Stones will perform on the stage in the middle of the field, Mick Jagger will strut back and forth as the audience attempts to decipher the lyrics he is mumbling into his mic, Keith Richards will smoke his trademark cigarette while strumming his guitar, and we will see hundreds of “fans” dancing on the field in front of the stage pretending that they weren’t born 30 years after the Stones started touring.
I think it will be interesting, and even funny to watch. I just hope they play their classics, which they probably will, since I don’t think anyone would recognize any of there songs that were written in the last 20 years.
Just don’t bring back anymore pop acts. Although it is fun seeing people like Ashlee Simpson get booed off the stage like she did at the Orange Bowl last year. If the people aren’t capable of playing musical intruments, keep their asses off the stage. Especially the Superbowl.

They should let Tim McGraw perform so he can redeem himself from the crap he “sang” every Monday Night Football halftime break… God that was horrible!

I hated that shit. I don’t know which was more annoying, that or the “Twins” song.
January 27th, 2006 at 6:35 pm
The twins song actually had a “flow” to it. On the other hand, Tim McGraw’s crap did not — he would often stretch-out a word to force it into the verse… it was excruciating to hear.

I think they should do away with the half time show all together. It’s always horrible and if people tune in just for that, they’re dumb asses. If they want musical entertainment they should tune in to MTV or VHI.
The Rolling Stones are more embarrassing than entertaining. Yes they may be legends, but at what point do you realize it’s just ridiculous to continue on like a youngster? I saw them in concert a few years ago and even then it was geriatric. I could only imagine how horrible it is going to be now. But I will never know because I refuse to tune in to that crap.

Yeah, it’s gonna be weird, but probably funny. And have you watched MTV or VH1 in the last 5 years? There’s no music on there.

Hey CincySux, be kind to Detroit. Remember I am going to be down there for all of the festivities this weekend, so I would like it to remain without violence and anarchy.

ken u fuckin fag, rolling stones made superbowl madd fuckin boring, you probably like that lame shit
February 8th, 2006 at 6:52 pm
All I did was acknowledge that they are legends but that they should hang it up you fucking cockroach! I guess you’d rather see some gay ass, let’s rail each other’s asses, boy band bullshit for your halftime show you fuckhead. If you were relying on the halftime show to provide your superbowl entertainment then you are even dumber than your little comment leads on. Why don’t you go watch TRL or listen to your Clay Aiken CD, jackass.
