Springsteen is hated by every patriotic American which means most NFL fans.

I have never understood the swooning for this guy. He always looks like he’s passing a kidney stone when he sings.

I think the last 3 have been Rolling Stones, Prince, and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

Funny thing is, I can’t imagine what Grunter Springsteen would sing - most of his crap is whiny. Dancing in the Dark? Born to Run?

What I don’t get is the amount of attention paid to the Super Bowl halftime show. Between that and the ads it’s as if everyone forgets the point of the event: to play football.

"What I don’t get is the amount of attention paid to the Super Bowl halftime show."

Wait....don't change it. Someone might show a boob.

Oops - in this case the boob is Springsteen.

The game being in Florida, I would have thought Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band would have been a no-brainer, and a lot more popular choice across the board.

I imagine Bruce’ll keep the politics out of it, though. Those Super Bowl halftimes are way too tightly-paced for ranting.

As always, the second NBC football goes to the halftime show I turn the channel. EVERYBODY I know does the same thing. Nothing will change this Super Bowl.

Just the fact the NFL and NBC would give any honor to this anti-American punk is what pisses me off.

That’s a pretty big contradiction.

“Between that and the ads, it’s as if everyone forgets the point of the event: to play football.”

I really think that every music concert should be interrupted by an NFL game. I have no idea why they allow the trashy music industry to garbage up the field at halftime with those gaudy and time consuming spectacles with thousands of participants.

And besides, isn’t Springstein that jackass who hid in Canada during the Vietnam War? What a jerk!

I don't know about you, but at halftime, we usually turn off the sound and do jello shots...

So is he going to start a lecture on socialism before he starts singing?
