OT: "Come on up for the RISING..."
Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2008 12:37 amSo I know alot of you are gonna hate this idea (as we've discussed it before!) but I'm LOVIN this!!!!
"GOOD EVENING, AMERICAN FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASTS!"
Bruce is ready for some football
So we've got a concert date for 2009, and it's a big one. After months of rumors, the NFL made it official last night, announcing that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be the halftime entertainment at 2009's Super Bowl XLIII. In recent years the Stones have done it, U2, Paul McCartney, Prince and Tom Petty... and now, some three-and-a-half decades later, Mike Appel's plan comes to fruition. Super Bowl Sunday is February 1, 2009; the game and the halftime show, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, will be broadcast worldwide in more than 230 countries and territories.
So, when I watch my TITANS crush whichever fodder the NFC throws at them, I'll get to rock out to THE BOSS at Halftime!!! Life, for me, will be GOOD!!!
btw- I'll still argue this is a good choice. Bruce does really well with the working class, football types. You might all think his concerts are filled with what Colin Cowherd would call " left wing, dot EDU guy", but you'd be wrong. Bruce has quite a large Red State following. They just BOO and holler for BADLANDS when he gets all political live!
St John, my kevlar is on, and I await your slings and arrows!
