My Generation Wearing Dentures
The Super Bowl halftime programmers have been real cautious since the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction in 2004. Since then, they've been booking the oldest rockers they can find, assuming them to be safe.

  • 2005: Paul McCartney
  • 2006: The Rolling Stones
  • 2007: Prince (who was surprisingly good)
  • 2008: Tom Petty
  • 2009: Bruce Springsteen
  • 2010: The Who

No young, skin-showing talent. Certainly no rappers.

I'm just wondering who they'll find in the years ahead. Here are some suggestions:
  • Three Dog Night? They're still around. Used to be the biggest band in the world
  • Alice Cooper?
  • AC/DC?
  • Chuck Berry? He's still kicking. I could hear "Johnny B. Goode" and "Maybellene" again.
  • Aerosmith? (They were there in 2001, with Britney, 'N Sync, and Mary J. Blige)
Sometime, one of these rockers is gonna have a heart-attack right there at halftime, live before billions of people. In fact, it could be Pete Townsend.

Wikipedia, of course, has a complete list of Super Bowl halftime shows.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
