The Arizona Republic is quoting Variety as saying that the NFL has Bruce Springsteen and Norah Jones as the top of the league’s “wish list” to perform at half….zzzzz… I’m sorry.. to perform at halftime of the Super Bowl next year in Glendale, Ariz.

So let’s review.. Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Prince. I think the NFL’s current strategy is to hire halftime performers who have the least probability of taking their clothes off.

Paul McCartney was OK but a little off key.. the Stones kind of sucked and Prince was pretty good in the rain, The Boss would be alright but does Norah Jones really get you fired up for the second half of the Super Bowl? I mean, really.

THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL. I want to be entertained, see a spectacle not feel like I’m standing in line at Starbucks.

Some people continue to watch the Super Bowl halftime show because, well, it’s the Super Bowl halftime show but I’m tired of the NFL being so safe after the Janet Jackson incident.

My message to the NFL: NO MORE CLASSIC ROCK!
