Bono a No-go For Super Bowl

 

The NFL still hasn't found what it's looking for--it just doesn't want Bono.

 

The U2 frontman's offer to perform a duet with Jennifer Lopez during the Super Bowl halftime show was rejected by the organization.

 

Bono had hoped to perform his new song, "An American Prayer," which he had planned to use as pitch to attract attention to the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

 

MTV, which is producing the program, signed off on the performance, but the NFL flinched at the subject matter.

 

A spokesman for the NFL indicated that the organization didn't find Bono's message in keeping with the atmosphere it sought for the Super Bowl.

 

"We simply decided that we were going to deliver, as we do annually, an extremely entertaining halftime show," the spokesman told the New York Daily News. "We don't believe it's appropriate to focus on a single issue."

I am totally shocked MTV didn't try to get The White Stripes or Outkast here.

Will Aerosmith just go the fuck away already? How do they get the invite to do a song at every fucking "major" football game? The Super Bowl last year (or was that 2 years ago), the season premier of this year's NFL season (the Washington-NYJ game) and now this.

 

It's amazing how they collected a group of artists to surround the biggest game of the year, yet couldn't find one that I don't really, really dislike. But then again, I'm a football fan so they don't need to 'wow' me to get me to watch. I'll watch in spite of the shit that they surround the game with, not because of it.

Because the NFL uses Aerosmiths music a lot during the pre game shows and other things. The NFL and Aerosmith, and Bon Jovi I think, do a lot for the same charities as well.

 

Plus, it's smart to get older bands like Aerosmith, U2 and Bon Jovi on these shows because Football isn't just about kids and young adults. Older football fans are still fans of these bands and would rather see them then Limp Bizkit or Outkast.

I'm shocked about OutKast not making it as well. At least then I'd had a reason to watch halftime cause this show just screams "Lame as hell".

 

U2, I'm not a big fan, was very good last year and one of the better halftimes I have seen in awhile. After that god awful Britney performance, it was a nice twist.

 

And the wrong message? God, use the damn football halftime show for SOMETHING good. It's the biggest stage in the world and I don't see the harm in one song.

 

Too bad Meatloaf couldn't get on the halftime show, would have been odd.

Who watches the half time show? I always switch to whoever has a comedy special like the one year that In Living Color or Foley vs Rock or whatever MTV or Comedy Central is showing at the time slot.

I'm going to be watching the game at a friends house, and am thinking of ordering the Lingerie Bowl there without telling him that it's a PPV. I get to watch the show, he doesn't find out that he paid for it until the end of the month. Win/win.

Why? All my hopes and dreams, shot to shit yet again.

 

That's it, I'm ordering two escorts to come over and do a lesbian show. It'll cost me more money, but will be infinitely more entertaining than the crap that will be shown in the official halftime spectacle.

 

All kidding aside, when and why did they cancel the Lingerie Bowl?

I hope Kid doesn't sacrifice whatever dignity he has left to be on stage with those scrubs, unless it is to beat their asses or something.

1) "Kid" never had any dignity,

 

2) and even if he did have dignity, he would've lost it by fucking Hepatitis B Victim Number Three.

 

2) He is a talentless piece of trash and

 

3) doesn't deserve to shine the shoes of one of the best hip hop producers of the nineties. (Admittedly not a fan anymore, but he's got precedent. What does Kid Rock have?)

 

A man who started from the bottom up, by washing cars for his boss and getting him food(much like what he did to the other ungrateful bastards on the show) or some fuck who got his break by impersonating Vanilla Ice?

 

P Diddy please.

 

Janet Jackson, while I'm not a fan of her music anymore, has a much better voice and has created way better songs in the past than Kid Rock.

 

Aerosmith does suck however. Bring on Bon Jovi~!

she's hot

So what?

 

I highly doubt the average football fan listens to Janet Jackson.

No, but the average football fan watches the Super Bowl.

 

They put this rubbish on before and during the game to pique the interest of viewers that otherwise might be apathetic about the pregame and halftime shows.

I was having an argument with a guy at work the other day.

 

Did Whitney Houston lip-synch the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV?

AC/DC should be playing halftime

 

Whoever doesnt get pumped up whenever they hear that song "For those about to Rock" during the Beer commercial is crazy.

 

And Angus still rocks at such an old age

Anything's gotta be better than Snoop Dogg during the halftime of the Sugar Bowl.

anything involving him = better than this junk

I wish MTV got Outkast and The White Stripes to play this show. I would've actually watched it then.

Outkast (just dre 3k probably) is performing at the NBA all-star game. Nelly is on there because the didn't give him alot of airtime the last time he performed at the SuperBowl. Im looking foward to Nelly, P.Diddy, and Murphy Lee to perform "Shake ya Tailfeather" Is that your ass or is your momma half reindeer? ;) :rolleyes:

They should have gotten Bon Jovi.

 

That is probably the only band my dad and I both like, that could get us pumped up. We both like the Eagles, but I don't think they would get the crowd going.
