Default Tom Petty and the Network.......
Tom Petty and the halftime show was good I thought. He and The Heartbreakers have always been a great band for alot of years. Just a thought on the songs they played, and they came to be chosen. Anybody besides me think the Fox Network yahoos, picked out the final 3 songs, and only gave Petty the choice of 1? I was pumped when the music started up to "American Girl" a great rockin tune, I've always liked. Then, I freakin called the next 3 as I sat here, and damn if he didn't go into the commerical HITS HELL in playing "Free Fallin", "I Won't Back Down" and "Running Down A Dream"! All fine songs, no doubt, but you freakin know the FOX goofs handpicked those tunes! I'd rather have heard "Breakdown" , "Refugee" , and "The Waiting" as follow-ups! How about you all?

Those are the big 4, I saw him concert twice. The first time it was all his hits and he and the heartbreakers were awesome. Then I saw again and he had an album coming out and they sucked. I have to admit that I didn't really watch him tonight. I was bitching and moaning about the halftime being so long. I just wanted the game to start again. From what I saw, they seemed to be pretty good. But judging the way he looked, I wouldn't suggest him buying green banana's. Put the damn bong down Tom.

I am proud to say...I didn't watch it.


A true rock n' roller would never appear in something as ridiculous as the super bowl.

Tom Petty, Get Real. You Are Old And Washed Up Like Many Old Rockers. They All Dont Know When To Give It Up. Please, Look In The Mirror Once In Awhile. The Game Has Passed You By.

lead singer from pink floyd did a show, which we taped and watched later. looks nothing like he used to-of course. but the voice is still the same, and i love that guys voice. but it's odd to see someone who looks like a grandpa singing pink floyd songs!!!

I have always been a big Petty fan. Seen him live a few times over the last 20 years, and always a great show.

The guy has had a prolific career and I think he is unquestionably one of the great American rock guys.

Now the Traveling Willburys...there was a talanted, and handsome bunch of fellas...
