The NFL Halftime Show is going to SUCK

Ugh.  Ever since the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" thingy occurred, the NFL has gone way conservative in deciding who's going to perform at their shitty halftime shows.  Can't say that I blame them, but The Who???  Fucking ridiculous.  I thought the idea of Superbowl halftime shows was to give people incentive to watch? 

There are sooooo many reasons why this is a bad idea.  First of all, I represent a popular demographic that regularly watches NFL games.  And reanimating dead members of a rock group that peaked in the 60's/70's doesn't exactly excite anyone under the age of 45.  (FYI, I'm not close to 45.) I can stomach rock, but fossil rock doesn't appeal to my demographic. 

I don't care if The Who still "packs em in" in concert, giving the world stage to a band that is no longer relevant and interesting to the current NFL players and a large chunk of the fan base alienates said chunk.

I don't know who green-lit this decision, but they couldn't have watched last year's halftime show.  Old dudes can't "rock" anymore.  Try to contain your amazement as Bruce shitily handles this guitar!  Is this shit impressive to anybody??? (Skip to :08 seconds in if you want to save :07 seconds of your life) 



And if decency was ever the issue (see above-referenced Janet Jackson thingy), this doesn't help... Boss crotch:
