Try attending a game. The action starts, then grinds to a halt for extended periods of time to allow for commercial time outs. This is why most stadiums have elaborate score boards with giant tvs, in order to keep the fans from nodding off into a stupor while waiting for the game to reconvene.

Oh, you have before. Guarantee it. They steal other people's music and make it their own. If I recall correctly, they had something like 15 lawsuits in the year 2010 alone filed against them for copyright infringement. That's why I can't offer any respect for themReading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.Comment

The Super Bowl and Van Halen were ruined for me after I heard Van Hagar's "Top of the World" blaring in the stadium during the confetti shower for the Packers.

After the Janet Jackson boob-fest, this past SB not withstanding, the networks have tried to keep things with popular, yet safe, acts....
You know, McCartney, Stones, Springsteen, etc.....
With it looking like a new VH album might not be out now until fall-ish, the Super Bowl might fit into their tour plans, if the band wanted to do it, of course.....
Remember, SB is in frickin' Indianapolis next year, just about the center of the country.....
And VH certainly has plenty of enough great songs that they could cram into a halftime performance....
For example, Ed could belt out "How Many Say I".....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

The thing is, the VH brain trust would need to pull the trigger on a decision as early as mid-summer. Remember, there were leaks starting in June of last year that the NFL was meeting with the Black Eyed Peas, so it's obvious the league would want to have all of their ducks in a row well ahead of time. Of course, this also would swing upon the labor agreement issues being ironed out before the start of training camp, thus avoiding any sort of work stoppage. And until that is settled, plans for a Super Bowl appearance by VH, let alone a football season taking place at all are pretty up in the air.“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ~~Maria RobinsonComment

Well, if the game is going to be in Indianapolis, then it's only fair to have some homegrown Indiana talent.
Mellencamp is probably the only one who still lives there and claims to be a resident of the state. Dave spent his childhood there, so Van Halen would sort of qualify.
And then there's Mr. William Axl Rose Bailey. But nobody's interested in seeing him unless the REAL Guns N Roses are with him (in which case Izzy, also from Indiana, would also be there.)
I'd say Mr. Cougar has the best odds at the moment, but whomever it is, it better be someone who writes songs, can sing them without a computer, and plays instruments.

During a concert in July, 2006, former vice president Dan Quayle walked out as Mellencamp performed the song after he introduced it as being for "those being ignored by the current administration." [1] There are two versions of the song. The album version has the lyrics "So be careful of those killing in Jesus' name/ He don't believe in killing at all." The single version that was released to radio replaces those lines with: "And I wish you all along the sidelines/ And the strength to walk tall." Mellencamp said the record company asked him to provide less controversial lyrics for the version sent out to radio stations to give the song a better chance of getting airplay.
