OK, I'm not even watching this game. So let's all suggest artists for next year's halftime show. Prince last year was amazing, Petty this year delivered as well, so who can follow?
Madonna: Yeah, you don't normally put the Material Girl and football in the same sentence, but at this point in her career she's well-known to every demographic. And now that she's British, she's too much of a prude to do anything that would make censors nervous.
Michael Jackson: He's planning his big comeback, and you know you'd tune in. Just no close-ups on the face, please.
Britney Spears: They could roll her out in a gurney! ... OK, sorry. That was wrong. I hate myself.
Thinking more about Petty's show, I'm disappointed that he didn't bring on Willie Nelson to help him out on a song. Ol' Willie was there for the pre-show, so why not let him sing behind the beat a little on "Runnin' Down a Dream"? Missed opportunity...

Madonna would be big.
I'd like to see R.E.M. get a shot, though they may be a little too eccentric for the NFL.
I bet it'll be someone in this list: Elton John, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz or, and I shudder to say it, Garth Brooks.
