I’m looking forward to half-time this year, when the Rolling Stones will perform (I’m familiar with some of their hits). But you’ve got to wonder if they’re kind of insulted they weren’t invited before this. Up With People has already played the Super Bowl. Four times. And New Kids on the Block got there 15 years ago.
Already been there, performed that:
The Florida A&M Band
The Rockettes (with 88 grand pianos)
Brian Boitano
Jim Belushi
Boyz II Men
Enrique Iglesias
Justin Timberlake. Twice.
The Super Bowl also seems to have done away with half-time themes, which is disappointing. They always had the same Lame Quotient as a Midwestern turnabout dance theme. “Winter Magic.‿ “Take Me Higher.‿ “Beat of the Future.‿ What were the rejected themes?
Never once have the producers taken into account that they are programming entertainment for a football game. Football, in which enormous men run into each other with their heads. Wouldn’t punk music be a better fit? Maybe a little gangsta rap?
Here Here....I would suggest Nine Inch Nails for next year.
Geez Paige, you got me all excited! When I saw the title Footblog, I thought that this was a foot fetish blog all about your feet! I am sure they are very nice! Well I guess I can always dream. Go Steel Curtain.
I don't think there is enough cage dancing during the half-time shows.
Hi,
I was hoping for a foot blog also! Come on Paige, put up a pic of your feet. Think of the publicity :)
Enough with the feet already! We wouldn't want Paige's quirky little blog inundated with weird fetishists.
Besides, I'd rather see her make a muscle.
Insulted?
After all, the Stones are Brits. And last year's half time show was anchored by a Brit (Paul McCartney). Guys who wouldn't know "3rd down and 7" from a "suicide squeeze."
How 'bout some American folks? Janet Jackson doesn't count.
Oh no, a weird muscle fetishist!
