Guess Who’s Playing the Super Bowl Halftime This Year?

Once again aiming to hire the performer least likely to reveal an erogenous zone on live television, the NFL has selected Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to headline at this year’s Super Bowl in Tampa.

Thoughts?

  • that’s blasphemy in these parts, wellhonestlynow! I take it you’re on the west coast and nowhere near Jersey? personally I have a little bruce crush and am hoping he exposes something.

  • Like most 20 somethings I’ll be sitting there going “Who the fuck is that?” until “Jessie’s Girl” comes on (That is the right guy, right?)
    And even then I won’t be impressed or even tempted to watch.

    And I only tune into the superbowl to see the halftime show. Fuck that shit. I’ll turn up MTV, light some sparklers and have my own halftime show.

  • Halftime has become a good time to stand in line for the bathroom at the big Super Bowl parties. I must admit, I was annoyed a few years back when they chose Prince (I never really GOT him), but it was one of the best halftime shows in my memory. Singing Purple Rain on a purple stage with rain pouring down…it was awesome.

    Maybe Bruce can pull it off too. He’ll have the whole Garden State cheering for him…but that’s about all, I think.

  • @ Jen B. That was funny! (I just can’t type “LOL”–it goes against my grain). And Bruce looks in that photo like he’s having trouble just keeping the guitar in the air. Hold on, Bruce!
    I hope he doesn’t expose any zones, erogenous or otherwise. Eh, what do I care, I never watch the Superbowl.

  • You take that back Jen B. I was a HUGE Rick Springfield fan. I even had a poster of him on my wall. What did Bruce ever give us besides Courtney Cox?

  • I fucking love Bruce Springsteen. The man is 59 and he still puts on one hell of a fucking good show.

    I bow to the master.

  • Bruce Springsteen?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?! Yeah, some say he’s an “icon” but c’mon, how about someone a little more exciting and entertaining?!? Oh well, maybe next year they will make a better choice.
