You know what would be a great half time show and it would be incredible. Roger Waters doing three songs from the Wall with fire works and First song would be In the Flesh with the Stuka dive Bomber coming out and crashing into a small wall, then Another Brick in the Wall with the large School master and kids singing, and to finish it off Confortably Numb. It would be one of the best half time Show since the Rolling Stones.
I think there's a generational difference between us here. As for the women yesterday, BuckeyeyeTexan, that caterwauling and vocal gymnastics sure isn't music to my ears. It just sounds like atonal screeching to me at the age of 70. Younger people have probably become accustomed to that kind of noise. And what I like (Vaughn Monroe, Tex Beneke and Patti Page) would probably be unappealing to the Alicia Keys crowd.
Likewise, crazydad, I never was able to latch onto the music of the beatniks and hippies -- Elvis was tolerable since he did some gospel songs such as Peace in the Valley. As for the Rolling Stones, I found their lyrics to be off-putting and not at all Christian. Sorry, but I've never even heard of Roger Waters.
So, give me Hank, Charlie and Lee for good, down-to-earth, wholesome, melodic entertainment. Although it would never happen in these politically-correct times, Bill Gaither or any Southern Gospel musician would be a surefire hit with me at the Super Bowl -- and probably, at best, 0.037% of the total population. :-)
Not as much of a difference as you might think. My taste in music is very, very broad. I love the artists you mentioned.
I also saw Pink Floyd twice in concert. (Sadly, not with Waters though.) They have always been my favorite. Floyd would be an incredible halftime show! Better than the Stones.
I didn’t mean to imply that either girl put on a good halftime performance. But they can sing.
Yes those are all great, but Roger Waters right now has the hottest Tour for the last three years. Also the Wall is timeless, every single kid in the world(ok maybe not Afghanistan) has heard Another Brick in the Wall 2. And I am speaking of pure Theatrics. I guarentee it would blow peoples minds. And it would be non- disgusting as woman shaking their asses on stages. JMO.
