I feel you. Your thread made me look at a list of all the SB performers since the beginning. I'm not a guy who cares much for those big fancy spectacle shows (fancy dancers, ultra techno stuff, etc...) if they just cover up whatever soulful talent the performers actually have. The only ones that I really recall at all were Michael Jackson (he just was an amazing performer), U2, Prince, and the recent rap/hip hip one wasn't bad. I'm usually not paying much attention to it.
I love football, and this is the championship game, almost a national holiday. But it's so much the over-the-top thing that annoys me about my country. The game is the thing to me.
