Prince has agreed to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. This is actually a safe choice after Janet's breasts in 2004 and the Rolling Stones' bleeped-out performance earlier this year. The old Prince might've been a problem for censors, but the new Prince is squeaky clean. He's a Jehovah's Witness who refuses to perform any of his kinkier material (the song "Cream" comes to mind).

I love the NFL, but they have a tin ear when it comes to selecting entertainment for the super bowls and other events. Aside form U2 and JJ, they've had:
paul mccartney
the rolling stones
bon jovi
aerosmith
now prince
That really doesn't keep me watching at half time.

Right Mike, the list you just posted were the good selections the NFL has made. Who do you think ought to be playing to a crowd that runs the age range from 8 to 80+?

"Cream" isn't a dirty song. It's about being the best (cream rises to the top).

I just want to strike a note here of a different chord. Prince is a genuine superstar who gives an electrifying concert performance. Every night he's on stage, he gives it his all. He doesn't lip-synch. He doesn't stand at a microphone stand and barely move around. He has the ability to play each and every one of the instruments on stage...and often does. He is the consumate performer's performer and the world will witness that in February...assuming they're not on a halftime bathroom break.
