The Who backs out of Super Bowl halftime

[Wither]

Let's build the perfect halftime band for the population of Carolina huddle. Hmmm, what do we know about this place?

-politically, everyone is "real conservative" tea party people that vaguely hate government, want to "resist," but don't really want to do anything.

-most people here are hopelessly out of shape

-most men here work in IT

-most everyone here over the age of thirty probably listens to Rush and loves whiny, overindulgent crap music with senseless instrumental solos

-probably be really amazed with a ridiculous set up for a live show

Hmmm, how do we combine all these factors into one. oh I know

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Fiz again.

as i was driving just now and thinking about it, I really think the best thing they could do is have a meta 15 minute highlight of the best plays of the season, quick snippets of how each team got here, maybe a tribute to chris henry or something, and let explosions in the sky do the music.

You're kidding, right? After that thread about him weeks ago?

Snoop or Jay-Z?

They could actually work. I was actually thinking Jay-Z myself. Yeah yeah, rap; but he's a known name and has work that would be acceptable.

Music today is about Sex and money. In the 70's music was about art. Bands like Pink Floyd, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, The Eagles and Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band made music out of passion and art not about the next great beat.

Nice try Dave. There were plenty of songs and musicians in that era who covered drugs, sex, money, etc.

I was in the press box when Janet flashed her boob. I was scouring the AP wire for photos to add to the Panthers.com photo gallery. It was surreal having guys like Rick Reilly coming over and looking over my shoulder to check out the boob picks that AP was putting out.

I don't get all the hating on The Who, anyway.

Me neither. Good music is timeless. I still listen to stuff from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and it all sounds just as good now as it did then.

Anyway, nobody has to watch the half time show if they don't like it.

jesus christ just put the arcade fire in.

their lyrics are inoffensive and bland, they're energetic, they can put at least 50 people on stage at any given time, and they won't have to lip synch like the Who.

It's okay if no one over the age of 40 knows who they are; no one under the age of forty knows that the Who used to matter.

inoffensive? They pretty much made an entire CD to bash Jessica Simpson's religious father if I remember correctly.

They are very talented but anti-american, so not sure how they'd fit in.

'pictures of lily' is my favorite 'The Who' song.

[Fiz]

ahh yes rabidly anti american

what the hell are you talking about?

50 million album sells isn't among the best, but he and his band clearly were popular for a lengthy time.

Yes cuz theres only 2 artists in the music world. Old men and Lady Gaga. If only we had more choices.....

and sorry I only donate when the son of a foreign leader in a struggling country asks me directly for a charitable donation :thumbsup:

i like her on a non-music level. she injects some "what the fug?" into popular music, and that is a much needed thing in such a bland time.

give her a huge budget and she would put Prince's show a few years ago to shame (and his was awesome).

you can even throw in an old white dude for cross generational crap. she is doing a duet with elton john at the grammys. just make that the halftime show.
