Springsteen promises high-energy halftime show

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press January 30, 2009

TAMPA, Fla. -- Anybody who thinks it's tough playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl with 150 million people watching should try serenading Barack Obama with the majestic granite visage of Abraham Lincoln staring over your shoulder.

Bruce Springsteen did.

"It kind of was a good warm-up for this," Springsteen joked Thursday after arriving in Tampa with the E Street Band. "That takes some of the pressure off, you know."

Will the fat man on the sax be there?

[rintense]

Anyone want to bet there will either be: 1. Obama love 2. Bush hate.?

[eyedigress]

3. A Malfuntion..?

[eyedigress]

Malfuntion = A Malfunction without the c

[max americana]

I hope someone yells “Wal Mart rules!”

[reaganixonbush]

Isn’t this the reason why we have TIVO?

[wardaddy]

Hey Bruce.

You smirky self satified asshat that only folks from the northeast can love...

kiss my ass

[eyedigress]

I hope someone yells “Wal Mart rules!”

Or "Wal-Mart rules! in My Home Town"

[llevrok]

When he “sings”, his mouth always looks like it’s about to hurl curd.

[goodnesswins]

This is the reason we have bathrooms.

[eyedigress]

And beer

[reaganixonbush]

Don’t forget lots of booze to forget the half-time show.

[fatfertile]

...overrated no talent.

[toldyou]

“You smirky self satified asshat that only folks from the northeast can love...”

Oh, please...I’m from New Jersey, and I can’t stand this liberal asshat.

I hope the whole band has major malfunctions. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[driftdiver]

Whats a half time show?

[reaganixonbush]

A Halftime show is where irrelevant, old geezers who can’t sing and are delusional enough to think they’re cool but are actually laughingstocks of America.

[NoLibZone]

Only metro sexuals listen to Springsteen.

[ZULU]

Boycott the Superbowl for having this lowlife creep on - do something constructive.

[Republic of Texas]

Really? I’m shocked. He didn’t promise a “low-energy” halftime show?
