Alk Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 So people in their 20's are "kids"? Really now. I was not implying to just High School and College "kids". Newsflash: The NFL wants their league to continue, do they not? They HAVE to appeal to the younger culture. Justin Timberlake isn't going to do that. A good Rap or R&B artist will. You can have your 60 year old over the hill performers, but make sure there is a current day one in there as well. Eventually these older fans will die and the younger ones will be left. Are you kidding me? He is AT LEAST as big as any rapper out there right now. That being said, I don't want to see him doing the halftime show ever again either. And like Bob said, when you are in your 30s-40s you can enjoy your favorite rap star during halftime provided he lives that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Nonsense. The people with money don't want to hear that crap. By the time we're dead, Joe, your faves will be on the oldies station and in the Super Bowl halftime show. People who are not yet born at the time I write this will be complaining about it. Get with the times Bob. Rap isn't just a fad, it's here to stay...just like disco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw the Halftime Show altogether IMO. I hate it. Recent years I've went downstairs to play a couple games of pool with my cousins and or friends.

I agree. 124, you have to remember that they're trying to appeal to more than football fans in the Superbowl halftime show. There are so many people, who don't watch a single football game all year, that tune it for it. Before my mother-in-law became ill, she would throw a party every year. We never went, because not a single person there actually watched the game. Anyway, I like Petty. I'll be watching. JC, next time I go to the meadowlands, I'm going to make a point to go to gate D. Everytime I see a guy with manboobs, I'm going to yell for him to show 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 His older stuff is good....but to have him @ halftime is very very LAME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetswin Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I did not read this thread so I may be going against the trend here...I like this choice. The halftime show is usually painful, especially the musical acts (anyone remember Up With People? lmao). U2 after 9/11 was special, other than that bleeh. I think Petty is a great songwriter and his band kicks A, and they are not some sort of corporate rubber stamp like Aerosmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNorth09 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Green Day should play the half time show They're too controversial. Ever since the Janet Jackson fiasco the NFL has made the halftime show as milk and toast as possible. Not saying Green Day is outrageous but there's a risk they'd do something controversial like badmouth the President and the Red States as well as half of Congress would throw a hissy fit. I'll never forget the Janet Jackson incident. I watched it in a GP large tent in Iraq with about 300 other guys in there at 3AM Iraq time. Everyone in the tent exploded when they saw her old saggy boob pop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually these older fans will die and the younger ones will be left. my guess is that the future big spenders for NFL (season tickets, corporate sponsors) will be younger generation that goes to college and matures out of music that glorifies gangsta callin women ho's and shakin bootys,,They will have matured by the time they are spending money to not care if NFL is highlighting hiphop (they will actually be pissed if NFL is)..and the future big spenders are probably educated enough even at this young age to have a cross mix of tastes and not to be 'put off' by NFL not having hiphop at halftime show.. The future younguns who listen to hiphop 20 years from now will IMHO still watch the NFL regardless of halftime shows,,and as 40 year olds still probably sadly buying every new NFL Replica jersey that the NFL produces..
