Super Bowl XLIII Running Thread

Patty=Linda McCartney.

 

After the game, instead of those cannons they've used the last few years, the E Street band is going to run around the field showering the winners with it.

 

I was sooooo bummed. I didn't recognize two of the songs, and this half-song shit has got to stop.
Set should've gone something like this:

1. Born to Run.
2. Radio Nowhere (must have the new song).
3. Glory Days.
4. Born in the USA.

Poor Bruce. I'd still love to see him live.

On a side note, has anyone mentioned yet that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?

 

Absolutely.

U2 was the best ever... by a mile.

 

If you think you just saw something representative of a Bruce Springsteen concert, let me disabuse you of that notion. That was homogenized Bruce for halftime of a Super Bowl game.

That was not a Springsteen concert. And if you haven't seen one in person, yes, you've missed out.

 

some insightful analysis by bettis, as usual.

 

Next year's halftime show ...

The Boston/Kansas/REO Speedwagon/Styx/Journey combo show. Members of all five bands gather on the same stage to perform one hit song from each group.

 

I wouldn't mind Earth Wind and Fire making an appearance at a Super Bowl.

 

I'm guessing it was, too. Bruce made it quite clear he didn't know or care about football in his press conference. He was being hokey for the Super Bowl, nothing more.

And I think the lack of "speedball" -- baseball, not drugs -- was Bruce being out of breath, not an attempt at sanitizing for the audience.

 

If I'm paying Bruce Springsteen X million dollars to play a 30-minute set, the least he can do is get the fucking words right. I don't think the NFL would've cared if that thing lasted another minute to put the missing lyrics in there.

 

Bruce has sold his soul to the NFL. He must have been invested in Bernie Madoff and needed the cash infusion
