With the same breezy manner that was just as infectious yesterday as it was in 1964, McCartney figured that even though we're here hyping this thing eight days a week, he might be here to put a global audience totaling close to 1 billion back in touch with something grandly simple.

Why can't they just give us Toby Keith, George Strait, and Dolly Parton for the Superbowl and dispense with all the Pop crap?! That's real Americana.Good question. Who's producing the halftime show, McCartney's record label?

One thing that annoys me about the Super Bowl are all the non-football reporters that show up. These are the people who ask the players on media day what their favorie movie is.
To: beyond the sea
Yea, but whats he plan on doing with that goat?

I hear you.
How about having Kristy Jackson sing her 9/11 inspired song, Little Did She Know (She Kissed a Hero).
He found some socks
She chose his tie
And when he left for work that morning he was just another guy
Going to work He'd have to fly
Out to a meeting in L.A. so she had kissed him twice goodbye
Little did she know shed kissed a hero
Though hed always been one in her eyes
But when faced with certain death
Hed said a prayer and took a breath
And led an army of true angels in the sky
Little did she know shed kissed a hero
Though hed always been an angel in her eyes
Putting others first, its true
Thats what heroes always do
Now he doesnt need a pair of wings to fly
The phone had rung
His voice was calm
Before he could tell her anything she knew something was wrong
I love you so
The last words hed said
She said I love you too
And then the phone went dead
Little did she know shed kissed a hero
Though hed always been one in her eyes
But when faced with certain death
Hed said a prayer and took a breath
And led an army of true angels in the sky
Little did she know shed kissed a hero
Though hed always been an angel in her eyes
Putting others first, its true
Thats what heroes always do
Now he doesnt need a pair of wings to fly

After hearing this song, I dont think many fans could see the second half through their tears. A very beautiful, heart-wrenching song.

Whoa! What a great idea - the legends of surf music for halftime. It doesn't get much more American than that.
To: TonyRo76
What football fan even watches the halftime show? I use that time to get more food and drinks and take care of other business. I think the halftime show is more for the non-football fans and women - gives them a reason to tune in.

Until I read it here on FR, I had never seen or heard the song.

I didn't even know about Janet Jackson until after the game.
To: bushbiker
Well, since he's not Irish or Scots, or West Virginian, there's one thing we probably CAN rule out...

No apologies necessary! Any ONE of the five you mentioned are better than ALL the 'performers' quoted in this thread.
