The following is a list of Super Bowl halftime shows. Due to the large number of viewers that the Super Bowl generates, a number of popular singers and musicians have performed during the halftime show.
In the United States, the halftime show for the Super Bowl is a highlight of the event, can cost millions to stage, and employ hundreds. It often serves as a crossover from pop culture, as Super Bowl Sunday has become likened to a de facto U.S. national holiday, and an event telecast, rather than merely a game. In some years, especially those in which the game itself is uncompetitive, the halftime show can be among most-discussed topics of the day, and is often regarded as watercooler material.
Due to the precise timing required to accommodate the high priced advertising surrounding the halftime shows, performers sing live but to pre-recorded backing tracks. The band on stage plays along with the pre-recorded backing tracks. The guitar solos are also performed live rather than being pre-recorded.
On August 11, 2008, the New York Post reported that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would perform the halftime show at Super Bowl XLIII at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. This was officially confirmed during halftime of the Philadelphia Eagles-Chicago Bears Sunday Night Football game on September 28, 2008.[1] Springsteen had previously been a candidate to perform during Super Bowl XLII, but Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were ultimately chosen.

Two words: Not happening. Big Mouth Billy Bass has a better chance of playing the Super Bowl than the stoner rock legends. Seriously, the only way this happens is if Trey Anastasio overthrows Roger Goodell and assumes control of the league.

Well, I blew it again. I missed M.I.A. uttering an expletive and giving Madonna the finger. All right, I probably wasn't alone, but as a self-appointed monitor of bad taste in Super Bowl halftime shows, I can't help but feel humiliated.

I don’t think I was the only Super Bowl spectator who was aghast ... hear the performers anyway. Is the NFL that hard pressed to provide entertainment to an audience that only came or tuned in to watch a great football game.
