get a bunch of untelegenic old people, who still believe that they are hip, and put them on national tv

They do it every year when they broadcast the DNC.

The irony is that most of the Stones' appeal was based on their youthful audacity. They were a product of the culture of youth that flourished in the 60s, and which dominates mass culture to this day.

I....used to rock and roll all night...
But now I can't stay awake.
I...have to get to bed by nine.
To rub in a tube of Ben Gay.


Okay...so it's Kiss and not the Stones. But the sentiment is the same

Don't forget the game is in DETROIT.

In JANUARY.

Oh, we're getting some mild weather now but you can bet an Alberta Clipper will cool things off faster than...well...a current picture of Jagger hanging on your bedroom mirror.

If you're lucky all you'll see is a bunch of gyrating hats and coats. If you're REALLY lucky they'll all be white because of snow! ;-)

The NFL is letting people over 45 years old decide for themselves whether they're up for the physical challenges of a Rolling Stones halftime show.

Will the Stones have their oxygen and nurses handy?

I fully agree - get rid of those fuddy-duddy football commentators in the studio!

If I get selected, don't be surprised if there is some kind of "wardrobe malfunction" involving a full moon.

My experience has been that the game is the main attraction, followed by the commercials. The Superbowl halftime show is when people fix snacks and empty their bladders.

The appeal of the stones was *THE MUSIC* they are a legend of what Great Rock and Roll is.

I would rather look at some scorching hot 22 yr old co-eds or something.

You'll find me jiggling and bouncing close by them.

I hear they are recruiting Hells Angels to perform stage security.

I absolutely LOATHE the Superbowl halftime show. It is just plain idiotic to have two teams in a championship game play a half of football, make them take a 45 minute break and cool down, then have them play the last half of the most important game of the year.

For people who think that the Superbowl is boring, one sided, and sloppy (although there have been some pretty good ones recently), this ridiculous break in the action so some Hollywood putzes can prance around on stage is the number one reason for that.

If the networks and league want to put on a damn concert they should just do it after the game is over and the trophy is presented.

One NFL halftime show was Aerosmith and Brittney Spears

Aerosmith made her look foolish for people who wanted to hear some good rock music during the halftime show.
