Because there are no more rock bands anymore.
Not any under 70 years old anyway.

Who really cares? You can view any of those groups of musicians any other time you want.
EXCERPT:
The league has worked with Roc Nation, a full-service management, music publishing, and entertainment company founded and owned by Jay-Z, to help its Inspire Change Initiative. The company was created by the NFL after an agreement with a coalition of players who demonstrated during the National Anthem to protest social and racial injustice in the country.

Here’s how Jay-Z changed the way the NFL chooses its halftime performer — despite never performing it himself

Cause nobody has showed their boobs. Really the big run of old white rockers who know how to keep their clothes on was in reaction to the “malfunction” that created YouTube. Rock has no popularity anymore. Still lots of great stuff happening, but none of it goes gold, forget multi-platinum. So rock is almost as likely to return to the half-time stage as Up With People.
And why not a Country and Western half-time? A Dolly Parton wardrobe malfunction would be a show for the ages.

They are the wrong color, it is that simple. We are being accustmed to being second class citizens, Caucasians I mean.
I am amazed that this spectacle is interesting to so many people. I loved football since the 1960’s, but I have watched only 3 Super bowls since Miami played the REDSKINS. That game, I turned off and found something more interesting to do. I was a Seahawk fanatic. I watched as they lost to the Stealers, won against Denver, and lost to Brady. It was personal, but boring.
Without the ability to fast forward while watching the game, would mean I would give zero zhits. THE GAME IS BORING beyond words 80% of the time. It is now perfect for those who have the brains of guinea pigs.
Does anyone remember when Up with People did the halftime show?
