The Boss to headline halftime
Monday, September 29, 2008
BY RAYMOND A. EDEL
STAFF WRITER
NEW YORK -- Another Super Bowl, another rock ’n’ roll superstar at halftime.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show in Tampa, Fla., the NFL and NBC announced Sunday night.

Continuing a run of major talent that has lately included the Rolling Stones, U2, Paul McCartney, Prince and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the biggest television event in the nation will showcase one of its most beloved rock ’n’ roll artists. The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 1 at Raymond James Stadium.

Last year’s halftime show was watched by more than 148 million viewers in the U.S., the NFL said in its release. It wasn’t always that way: For years, the game’s halftime show was made up of local and college marching bands and drill teams.

Chubby Checker in 1988 was the first popular musician to perform at halftime, and Michael Jackson upped the ante in 1993. His sister Janet provided the show’s most infamous moment with 2004’s “wardrobe malfunction” — and the show has stuck with straight ahead rock acts ever since.

Oh, my.

I think I know what's in store for me 

Hello....Ticketmaster.
Hello.... A Great Place to Sit
Hello.....Stub hub
Hello.....TicketsNow

This is great news! I've been going thru withdrawals since Jax -- wondering when and where they will perform again. (Clarence Clemmons played the Star Spangled Banner at a charity basketball game a few weeks ago. Clarence does that alot for the Miami Heat games, too.  )

My bad.

Thanks 2NJ!! 

I'll keep you guys posted as to what we find out. Maybe I can entice ya's.

Now....if only the DOLPHINS were playing in the Super Bowl. 

But since it's Bruuuuuuuuce -- I'd be alright with the Giants.

Mum....I thought of Sharon immediately when I saw the news. 

Sharon....tickets for half-time no matter who's playing...   I'll be watching the tube, as usual...will be interesting to see who gets there.   No Giant fans in this household....believe it or not.
