Danger! Will Rodgers be distracted?

Agree. Rock kicks ass.

Nope, don't like him. That song that mixed Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves in London was terrible. If you are going to sample something, sample someTHING, not two entire songs minus lyrics and a guitar solo.

Though its probably the reason he got this gig, after all, Michigan and Wisconsin are connected by two lakes, aren't they?

Guaranteed to keep away the young and the old alike. Only people 35 to 45 will come close.

You have to give him some credit - it takes a special performer to ruin two songs at the same time.

The Icelandic flight raises an interesting question:

Who would you trust as you flight's Captain more, Bruce Dickenson or John Travolta?

[mraynrand]

Speaking of Lady Antebellum, didn't she sample "Eye in the Sky" for her 'mega-hit?' Maybe they could just have a DJ and a disco ball instead. And rent the 'Continental Room' at the Holiday Inn. The money they save could go to pensions and healthcare for those older veterans who are living in abandoned pickups or train stations and drooling on themselves.

Please won't you help?

Who is in charge of booking music for NFL gigs? Just horrible.

Why does the NFL think we need a mini concert at every big football game? I'm there at the stadium or tuning into the TV to see a football game, not a rock concert.

Its not just a football game, its Kickoff Weekend. You can't afford to just have football and alienate people who don't want to watch football.

Nope. But I would prefer the Big Bopper's pilot.

Well, you don't need to be a NTSB investigator to figure that one out. Shouldn't have been flying upside down.

This is silly. The league doesn't want to alienate non-football fans?? Think about what you are saying. If a person is going to the symphony the concert hall isn't gonna put the Rolling Stones on the under card so they won't alienate folks that don't like classical music. Most of the folks who tune into a football game are football fans and folks that go to the symphony are classical buffs.
