Yeah.. haven't heard much of him since then... Itunes and Napster pretty much destroyed the Music Industry as we knew it... its not like the old days when you can waste a whole day in the studio just to get a drum sound together while the producer sits in the green room tootin coke all afternoon anymore...

I’ve never seen a halftime show that was good. They have had the Stones.  The Who. Paul McCartney.  Janet Jackson. 

Thay have all sucked. 

Bruno Mars was a great halftime show.

But the Super Bowl is about catering to non-fans and advertising revenue. 

You nailed it right there.

The fringe football fans at work thought it was a horribly boring SB.  "The worst football game I ever saw in my life." someone told me.  When a real football fan would say, 'That was an epic battle!'  -  I'm not a real 'defense' kinda guy.....but that was an epic defensive championship.  

Oh, this is about half-time.  Wasn't interested in the acts.  Didn't see it.

Did the OP even see Beyonce? She's my vote for worst ever. 

After the Janet Jackson "Boobgate", the NFL trotted out every old rock band they could get.

The Rolling Stones were horrific. So bad.

To be totally honest, my educated guess is they wanted a recognizable but non-offensive band based on all the controversy of the past two years. The exact same reason Justin Timberlake was last year's performer. One can groan about the mediocrity of it but nothing was "offensive". Definitely agree there.

Then go back to Up With People if you don't want controversy.

It wasn't the worst performance I've ever seen, but it was uninspiring to say the least. After the Janet Jackson fiasco, the NFL has gone strictly "safe" with the acts they choose for halftime...

Really.....watch ALL of this then:

@the-gipper said:

How many people did it take to swill all that?

Four or five...   Actually, it was on the high side of twenty or so...  And there was a lot of great food to go along with it... With the party starting at 4 PM, people were pacing themselves, so really that was around 4-5 bottles of wine per hour for 20 people- not as crazy as you might think....  

@hoorta said:

We had to head down to the wine cellar to figure out what else we were going to drink for the second half. The sound was turned down so far for the halftime show, you couldn't hear it... Which was probably a good thing....  Actually this picture is post-game, but you get the idea....

Anyone who needs to restock the beer cooler at halftime is a poor planner before the game.

By restocking....I took that to mean to restock my hand with a beer in it.

In my case:  Guinness.   That is what I did.

restocking your hand is acceptable.   Needing to restock the beer cooler is poor planning.

Super Bowl Halftime is for women and gays.

Tell me you went out back and had a cigar, restocked the beer cooler, threw some nachos down your pieholes and walked the dog and I might have some new respect for you homos.

Zombo

I was at the WSS  SB party.....so you can imagine that yes....there were a lot of gays and homos and chicks there.   I don't smoke and I don't have a dog (cat left home with the wife)....but I did the beer and...while not nachos...basically the equivalent.  But I was a somewhat captive audience.

And I guess the other moral of the story is:

Maroon 5 is to be heard and not seen.

You're saying you'd like to maroon them on a desert island?  Levine is OK on The Voice though- minus the band. 

@jrb12711 said:

Am I the only one who thought the halftime show was fine? Obviously Levine losing his clothes to show the dad bod was...awkward but I appreciated him actually singing and his pop hits are fine. That's not one of those performances I'm going to tell my grandkids about, sure but it was fine. People acting like this was the worst thing of all time, I just don't see that

It wasn't the worst performance I've ever seen, but it was uninspiring to say the least. After the Janet Jackson fiasco, the NFL has gone strictly "safe" with the acts they choose for halftime...

On the other hand Gladys Knight knocked it out of the park.

as much as all the rap and crap sucked, she really did an amazing job - she absolutely did. Loved it !

Maroon 5 is to be heard and not seen.
