My ultimate halftime show can't ever happen, and couldn't have ever happened. And would have made a great opener and couldn't have happened then either.

Hendrix playing the anthem while evel knievel jumps over either a huge flag, or both teams. Or if at halftime any three or four songs plus Knievel.

There's a few guitar players who could get close now, and maybe Robbie would do the jump, but it wouldn't be quite crazy enough.

This is actually an excellent idea, and it brings up a good point. Why are the halftime shows automatically musical performances? Get Cirque Du Soleil out there, or some crazy magician out there.

The halftime show is about ratings. They have to keep people watching when then could otherwise go to the bathroom or turn the channel. I think musicians bring the most viewers.

The only reason I watched the Super Bowl was because of Lady Gaga. In the past, she has performed a wonderful National Anthem, and her performance of music from The Sound of Music last year was exceptional.

I am glad that I did watch the game because it turned out to be an unbelievable game.

Perhaps "Lady" isn't the appropriate title for Gaga, but the girl can sing.

As I age (hopefully!), I'm really trying hard not to be one of the many older people who think the younger generation is always going to hell in a hand basket and everything is careening down hill morally. It seems to be something that 95% of people fall into when they age. I see it with nearly all the older people in my life. Why is it that everyone becomes convinced that the younger generation is just falling off a cliff morally. My parents think it. My wife's parents are convinced of it. Of course as they were in their teens and 20s, their parents were convinced of it. And their grandparents were no doubt convinced of it too. A never ending cycle of shock and outrage.
Comic books? Outrage. The Beatles? Outrage. Rolling Stones and the Moody Blues? Outrage. Marilyn Monroe? Outrage. Lindsay Lohan? Outrage. There's really nothing new under the sun when you think for a moment? Straight line from the flappers to the girls in the 50s to Woodstock to Lady Gaga.
I hear my sons rap music and its not my cup of tea. But whatever. I was listening to Pink Floyd and my parents didn't get that. And my parents listened to the Beatles who their parents were convinced were satanists.

Lady Gaga? Please. Isn't doing anything people have been doing for years.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old first cousin. Could you imagine today if some rapper tried to go that route?

It looked like she almost didnt catch the ball that was thrown to her, almost a drop but i only saw it once in real time.

I must have cool parents. My Mom, who is in her 70s, was upset that I got Guns N' Roses tickets last year and she couldn't go. No joke.

If Lady Gaga married Andres Galarraga, would she be known as

Lady Gagagalarraga?

Or

Mrs. Galarragagaga?

Maybe I should start a poll.

At least Gaga, and correct me if I am wrong, isn't writing and performing "music" that degrades women in general and black women in particular.
