Personally, I think they could have made a much better choice. While they're not for everybody, I think DMB would have been a fantastic fit. They put on a whale of a live show, aren't approaching their deathbeds (see: last year's Who show), and are very instrumentally talented. Ahh, well............... Heck, they coulda brought on Ozzie, for that matter.
Fuck Dave Matthews. That guy is so overrated. He was all the rage when I was in high school. I didn't get it then, and I definitely don't get it now. For a second I was hoping you were saying 'Da Moodie Blues... hahaha
Fergie is gross. I used to like the Black Eyed Peas before they sold out. They were pretty good back in the 90s.
I'd love to have DMB do that halftime show. I've seen hundred of bands and solo artists live and I'm not sure there's a better performance than Dave. He's so versatile, can do just about anything musically and gets the crowd into the show. I liked Petty a couple years ago. Prince and The Who sucked giant balls.
I miss the days of the mind numbing warbling of Up With People. Best Super Bowl Halftimes EVER! [video=youtube;Z4mTTigqTSA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4mTTigqTSA[/video]
