Wow! Usually the halftime show sucks. At least they finally got a good band, it’ll be guaranteed to be better than the game!
I notice that you did not include Michael Jackson in that list of Half Time greats, Bobby. Shame! “Heal the World” is hard core.
I don’t know, Sig, I had high hopes when Aerosmith played Halftime a few years ago. Unfortunately, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and whoever else sung “Walk This Way” spoiled that show.
