Because it's old).
He is indeed all of those things, but he doesn’t “rock”. His music is cheesy bubble gum R&B with a little hip hop mixed in. Now get off my lawn! :grizo1: :grizo2:

I like Springsteen, gives a great concert and such. But he's not everyone's cup of tea, and since he's closing in on 70 years of age, a good portion of the under 40 crowd are not really Springsteen fans. Old people need to realize that they are getting old and it's quite possible they are an ever decreasing percentage of TV's target audience. :coffee:

The only thing worse than old guys grumbling about today's music are old guys pretending to like today's music to make themselves feel "hip" and "with it". :coffee:

Well, I'm not that old myself, and frankly, I'm only 8 years older than Justin Timberlake so it's not like he's super young. With that said, there is plenty of stuff that you hear at the Grammy's and other music awards that I just don't like, probably because I am old (like techno stuff - I really don't get that). Thankfully, I won't have to complain about that at the Super Bowl for another 10-20 years or so when I really will be old.

Not better than JT, not even close.

Springsteen sounds like this guy to me.

I think I was in middle school when Bye Bye Bye was hot and every 13-year-old girl wanted to marry JT.

He's the Justin Beiber of the early '00s. :tothehand:

I just found the performance boring. Had nothing to do with it being JT. I also find him to be funny in his interviews etc, though I am not into his music.

Ok if you insist...

Money is money, speech is something different. A five year old knows this. I’m surprised you still don’t.

Corporations are groups of people not mentioned in the constitution.

It’s really that simple. Everything else is legal subterfuge.

(The fly was poorly tied but I came back for a swipe to protect my cherry position in the run.)

I'll admit that I don't remember it but in reviewing Youtube stuff came away thinking at least one song from the 2001 Super Bowl halftime show was pretty good. It was one where a bunch of Pop Stars plus a rap guy wrapped around Aerosmith to perform "Walk this Way."
