But seriously, it will be another "non provocative" person or band. It's a shame, MTV was on to something with the younger acts...every year I renew my hatred for Janet Jackson and her boob for ruining Super Bowl Halftimes
Please, not Carrie Underwood. I can't stand her.
But, the one I suggested, above, Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions band would be a perfect fit. Check out the samples I left the links to.
Box at your age would'nt you rather Engelbert Humperdink or Tony Bennett to perform?
I'm going to go really far out on a limb and predict that it will be a severely aged white rocker who appeals primarily to baby boomers for nostalgic reasons, and who will very likely underwhelm in live performance.
Ummmm.....
no Dio?
or Iron Maiden?
this list is a joke....
If you want great songs and a great show the best band for it would be Muse, but I'm guessing they're not popular enough in the US to get the nod.
I'm guessing Jay-Z will get it one year. Maybe this one?
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra would be cool, so would Enter the Haggis.
Gee, having Ronnie James Dio play The Super Bowl would be the greatest feat in the history of the human race.
Uhh... Dio DIED a few months ago. Tell me someone using his avatar around here is aware of this. And if that's the case, that suggestion is just a tasteless joke.
But that would be par for the course from a metal head.
Wow, ok. A) Look at the post date, idiot. July 2009 = BEFORE Dio died. How about looking at things like that before being a total douche.
B) People whom listen to metal are stupid = Are you really serious, thinking you know anything about someone because of what music they listen to? You're quite the enlightened human.

I think ACDC would be an ideal halftime act. It's just the right mix of uptempo, mullett wearing, nostalgic, big sales arena rock that will generate higher ratings than the lingerie bowl.
Aerosmith makes lots of sense too, though they've been a real mess lately.
I could see Bon Jovi play, but I hate 'em. Ditto for Van Halen. I'd fear the prospect of any 70's act that hasn't already played the halftime show. Elton John is too soft rock for the Super Bowl. George Clinton and Ozzy/Sabbath are too freaky. Plenty of people hate Dylan, and he wouldn't do it anyway. If Billy Joel played I would refuse to watch the game and swear off football for life.
Bowie? Could work. I see the Patriots taking the lead from the Saints before halftime, then Bowie comes out and plays "Changes." Could be that "Beautiful Day" or "Free Fallin'" halftime show moment that seems to summarize the game.
I'd love to see Phish play an 80 minute halftime show. On trampolines. With a vacuum solo. Would give Belichick plenty of time to gameplan for the 3rd quarter. That's fantasyland though.
I wonder when the NFL will open up to 90's rockstars. Plenty of untapped nostalga potential there. Green Day. Pearl Jam. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Would be big shows.
