As for who could be in next year's, think about it:
Fleetwood Mac has disbanded, and the thought of a roundish pixie floating about the stage is unnerving at best, and nausea inducing at worst.
Kansas has broken up. One of the guys from Boston is dead. Toto? Maybe. Electric Light Orchestra? Even though a lot of their songs are used in commercials, it's been a Jeff Lynne thing for years. The Cars? Ocasek is in seclusion with his hot wife, and didn't perform on a tour this past year. (Todd Rungren took over lead, and I heard he wasn't bad.) Earth, Wind & Fire? Possibly. They have the most original members, IIRC, and they can still kick. The Village People? Please. Talking Heads would be fun, but they might be too wierd for Super Bowl.
Anybody else out there who might be able to do a Super Bowl show who isn't oversexed, too young to appeal to a wide audience, or a one-hit wonder?
Wait!! This just in.......ROXETTE will team up with ACE OF BASE for the 2011 Super Bowl!!!!!
I suspect since next year’s Super Bowl will be in Arlington, I suspect the halftime show will be more Country-oriented.
How about Bob Dylan? Now that would clear the stadium out.
Of course, Bob is All-American (I'm not being sarcastic).

How about Joe Crocker? He is still singing and was one of the best voices of his era.
