National Beat/Readers Photoshop: Worst Post-Janet Boob White Fright Classic Rock Superbowl Halftime Booking Ever
Submitted by reader bernfiremon, and while we’re on the topic, even as lifelong fans — devotees, even — of The Who, even we must admit: That totally sucked. Enough already, Superbowl. Next year, we demand females and people of color on that stage. Ever since Janet Jackson revealed a sliver of boob, you people have been acting like it’s the second half of Pleasantville and you’re intent on keeping everything boring forever.

While I agree that the Who sucked, Janet Jackson was ‘04, and Prince put on the best half time show I’ve ever seen in ‘07.

2010 – The Who & Eddie Vedder STILL SUCK.

Pete Townshend bared his midriff for the children. Isn’t that enough?

The Prince half time show was stellar! Unfortunately middle America still had major problems with it…

I specifically mentioned Prince last night as an energetic performance. And Bruce was good, and he always brings energy (and occasionally his crotch) to his performances.
But I was very underwhelmed by The Who’s performance.

At least move it up a decade and get Journey or something.
