Hah... yeah, it's definitely clear since the whole "Janet Jackson" nipple flash thing that the Superbowl have headed in the "Classic Rock" direction. Who would have thought that it would have been the rockers who would one day be the safe choice? :P

Jesus Christ, we have to tolerate prince again just to finally see a good band like Tom Petty. The Heartbreakers were around way before prince, so why does that screaming idiot get to headline?

Sean eric, I'm pretty sure that "The veteran rocker follows Prince, who performed at the annual pigskin event earlier this year." is simply reiterating the fact that Prince performed last year, not that he will perform again this year. Not that I would have a problem if he did...

This year's Superbowl Halftime show will be sponsored by Bridgestone, a company which owns a rubber plantation in Liberia that is characterized by child labor, abuse of workers' rights and environmental destruction.
