I have plenty of fond memories of the Stones, Bruce, and to a far lesser extent, the Who. But what will the NFL do when all these guys are dead?
You're missing the point. All these old bands get halftime gigs because they fit the NFL demographic; that is, upper-middle age men. When they all die off, then the halftime performers will change to reflect the new demographic that replaces them.

Bingo. And Pete Townshend at 80 will still rock harder than some “artist” from Seattle wearing black fingernail polish at 20.

I'd bet the average NFL fan is much younger than the average Who fan. The NFL better hope so, unless it wants to follow late 50s and older Who/Stones fans into the grave.

Michael Jackson videos for the younger generations?
