I wouldn't mind seeing the Eagles, or an Allman Brothers reunion, if they can get Greg Allman, Dickie Betts, Butch Trucks, et al, to be on the same stage together again. Aerosmith might be another possibility, although I seem to remember them doing a SB in the last 10 years(?).

The Eagles are too mellow for a SB... I thought the Black Eyed Peas would have been a good choice this year and I only like the one song by them - I Gotta Feeling, or whatever it's called. Bring back the Stones.... gmstrong -----------------

Probably what they oughta do is have an All-Star Revue with people like Wayne Newton, Cher, Harry Connick, Liza Minelli, a magician, and the guys with the tigers. Or maybe they should just have the Fox robot getting run over by a monster truck. Just thinkin' out loud now ...

(she's over 40, which I'm not saying is old, I'm pushing 40 myself) I think the NFL needs to put a young band or artist up there...Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce etc. They're fun, not vulgar (or at least the stuff on the radio isn't) #gmstrong

I'd rather have someone that isn't mainstream play than to drag out some band that should be playing county fairs. Or seriously old dudes trying to act like their younger selves (Rolling Stone's, The Who, Bruce). Bring in a band that can bring the heat and that plays in front of 60 to 80,000 people crowds each summer... Widespread Panic!

I think Charlie Daniels would be a great show,...Travis Tritt is AWESOME live,...I suppose since Canada doesn't have an NFL franchise, Rush would be out of the question. Harry Connick (especially this year) Diana Krull Josh Groban Led Zepplin ELO or TransSiberian Orchestra There's plenty of options.

Actually, the Who was supposed to tour in 2002 and just days before it was supposed to happen Entwistle died of a drug overdose. Four days after the fact they indeed toured with a new bass player in tow and they been going on ever since. I give them credit for still rocking out.

I think it was an underpowered halftime show... though it was an awesome stage setup... I think they needed to start with more power.. They just started out weak and got stronger.. but starting out weak is not a good way to start.. Journey would be a good band to play at halftime in terms of viewership..I would expect a strong amount of filipinos tuning it to see it.. Though most filipinos I know are more into basketball and boxing. "Don't be burdened by regrets or make your failures an obsession or become embittered or possessed by ruined hopes"
