Super Bowl Halftime - Rolling Stones

First I will admit I was always more of a Beatles fan than a Rolling Stones fan. With that said I was willing to give the Stones a listen at this years Super Bowl. Wow, they sounded horrible. Just compare it to last years show with Paul McCartney. He looked good (for his age) and sounded fantastic, the Stones on the other hand sounded worse than most bands starting out playing in a garage somewhere with no effects for their vocals.

Stevie Wonder did a pretty good set before the game. I would like to know why the Motown guys played before the game instead of the main halftime show? And in Detroit, I mean cmon, that would be like playing in Mississippi and not having the Blues as the main show.

Did someone think they had to give the Stones a shot since the Beatles had a representative play last year?

In any case, the halftime show was less than stellar. Maybe it's time to crank it down a notch. 6 hours of pregame show with several key musicians getting a song in. Let's get back to a single halftime show, with one good headliner performing a couple hit songs. And maybe choose a more contemporary act. I guess next year we should look for KISS ?

Oh, one last musical note. There is a time and a place for musicians to perform their own arrangement of a song, but the National Anthem at the top sporting event of the year is not it.
