Prince To Play Super Bowl Halftime, Serve Everyone Pancakes Afterwards. Pancakes.
July 26th, 2006

The word on the street is that Prince is going to be doing the entertaining at next year’s Super Bowl Halftime. Pete McEntegart here in SI.com’s 10 Spot attributes the news to “internet reports,” as if the internet itself is one single entity. I’m not sure where it originated. But I hope it’s true.

Because if you have to put on some giant bullshit halftime show (and clearly, the NFL has to), then, at least in my opinion, there aren’t many options better than Prince. I’d go with Dead Prez, just to see what would happen, but that might just be me.

But who doesn’t love Prince? They should probably have him do it every year. If it was Prince that went out there on stage and had a useless prick rip a patch off of his pants, and exposed his dong for a second… people would’ve just shrugged and said, “Well, it’s Prince, what did you want?”

I haven’t heard “3121,” and I didn’t think all that highly of “Musicology,” but put him in front of a live crowd, and Prince is going to come through. It’s not like there’s a shortage of bad-ass songs in the Prince catalog. If there is truth to this internet report, I’ll be watching the halftime show in 2007, which is not something I normally do.

    How could you not like Musicology? Did you ever see his DVD, Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas? Not too many people know this, but Prince is one of the best guitarists in popular music.




  2. GoKartMozart Says:

    Why do the half time shows have artists that football fans hate. Seriously, Justin Timberlake? Brittany Spears? Why don’t they have a half time show that rocks your balls off? I propose AC/DC and DMX.




  3. AussieHoya Says:

    have to chime and say that the chappelle reference was gold. I don’t care who didn’t get it. keep em coming.




  4. Doug Says:

    Anybody,and I mean anybody can beat the Rolling Stones halftime show last year. That was boring as hell.

    If they have to go with a “blast from the past” performer, I think you’re right in saying Prince is the way to go.

    shirts v. blouses. that cat can ball man. “shoot the rock! shoot it!”




  6. Moonshine Mike Says:

    Prince can bring it still. If we are lucky Sheila E will be playing drums.




  7. hehateme Says:

    Thing he will wear assless pants?




  8. uncskins28 Says:

    Dead Prez would definitely bring it…

    “As a matter of fact this whole NFL system can suck my dick. BEEYOTCH!”




  9. Keevin Says:

    Sounds good to me. I like that they’re finally finding their balls after the whole Janet Jackson deal, albeit a little slowly for my tastes. On that note, would anyone like some grapes?

    Bitches




  10. Rhondda Nunes Says:

    I prefer grapes as vino; ‘tho I’ll agree the purple one is a bad-ass on his axe.

    What I wanna know is why the pancakes afterwards?Is he hypo-glycemic?




  11. Dave's Football Blog Says:

    Ummmmm… I’m a football fan, and I like Prince. And I thought Musicology was pretty good, too, though it was no “Sign O The Times.”

    Of course, I also thought Salma Hayek should have been in front of the camera rather than behind it for the “Te Amo Corazon” video, but that just comes from watching that lesbian scene in “Frida” one too many times…




  12. Jo Says:

    Awesome way to spice things up at this year’s half-time show! Prince is a musical genius. Can’t wait!!!! Very cool, ubercool. :)




  13. josh Says:

    i say acdc that would be the best halftime show in history




  14. Jason "Kaotic" Says:

    Prince is the reason so many have got into music, why his lyrics have made so many men have the women they’ve had, when they had no idea what to say. He’s a living legend, an icon and to those who don’t like him, you have no idea what you’ve been missing in your life without him and his music.
