Danger! Will Rodgers be distracted?

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.

He just MIGHT have been using sarcasm to drive a point home.

I agree with you. But if you were in charge of getting 10% growth in revenues on a regular basis then you need to attract as many eyeballs as possible. To the NFL, its nothing more than pop music at halftime of the Super Bowl. Or the concert that precedes it.

Put another way, would you prefer to watch a concert or another hour of Bradshaw and Glazer chuckling at each other?

As was I. You are the third person I have talked to who was there. Didn't know about it until the next morning driving to work and the radio said something like, "No, earlier reports were inaccurate, Eric Clapton was not on the helicopter that crashed".

Robert Cray was a little lost (for me anyway) in that setting. He was great to listen to, but its hard being a singer-guitarist in a huge outdoor venue and holding everyone's attention. Clapton was fine, though I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be.

Stevie stole the show. I think this was after he got sober. Also played well in the jam at the end with the three main acts plus Buddy Guy.

Drum kit envy?

I'm a bass player (upright and guitar). I'd flog a drummer for showing up to a gig with that many toms.

I saw SRV three times.....twice during his boozing/drug years and the tour with Joe Cocker (sober). The venue for the Cocker concert sucked ass and ruined it....I wish he was drinking because he would have ended up at a bar in town playing. The first two shows were much smaller in venue and he fucking killed....he WAS channeling Hendrix.
