So The Stones doing the Superbowl is not exploitation? |

True, but is doing the Superbowl exploitation? Could anyone work out the price of a Superbowl ticket, and guesstimate the added value caused by the Stones' prescence? I.e, I don't know what past prices have been etc.
I wasnt referring to the Super Bowl per se, just the concept of blind idolatry in everything the Stones do as being a way of leaving oneself open to exploitation
For what its worth, no I dont feel the Super Bowl is exploiting Stones fans. Its a free to air Tv event and its costing me nothing to watch it. And I would imagine not too many of the people attending are going to be there just because the Stones are. |

I just feel like you are all making too big a deal with them playing Superbowl. THey are obviously going to extreme lengths to promote themselves, because they have little support these days. You all are acting holier than thou about everything they are doing. How is them playing the Superbowl exploiting YOU, or anyone else? Most of you will just have a choice of watching the damn thing, or going to get more beer from the fridge.

The Stones are playing some songs that day...
If you don't like it change the channel. There's no issues, no sell out, nothing!
If you really wanna know my opinion read:
If you watch the game and the events bfore and during, then you must consider yourself the cause and the problem. Without consumers and profits, none of this shit would be happening.
If you don't like drinking soda, and having to see the commercials on TV, then stop drinking it and don't watch TV. All this finger pointing, complaining and bullshit, is retarded. We buy the stuff, we watch the shows ect... It's a choice and we make it for ourselves... No one is making this happen to us, it's just what happens and we decide how to respond.
The shock and disspopintment, gimme a break. This is just another pop culture event, with a boy band as entertainment.
Everyone has their opinions, and right to complain... BUT!!! We also have choices... This is the life We chose. |

If they had done this 10 or 16 years ago, that would have been cool. Now it just smells of desperation. |

The Stones were way too cool to play the Superbowl 10 or 15 years ago.
I really don't have a problem with this Superbowl thing. I mean in light of recent(and some not-so-recent) events.....how can this end up being any worse?
Besides, there is no point in getting angry about something in which you have zero control over.
I'll watch, and I hope they kick ass. |

The 1/2 time show is allegedly a family show and that's exactly what the 2006 Stones are.. a nerdy, family oriented show. |

I'm totally jacked for this show. I'm a football fan and always watch the game, but this year its a Stones show with football openes and closers.
Anytime the Stones play anywhere its a major event IMHO. Thats why I like this board so much. Each Stones performance is thoroughly reviewed.
Those football fans don't know how good theyr'e getting it.]
Should charge them double. They get a Stones show, thrown in.
Hope they appreciate it and beg for an encore.Cancel the rest of the game and let em keep playing. |

Ha. I saw a picture of you. If you think the Stones is nerdy and family-oriented, you should have a look in the mirror pal.
The Stones are the Stones. They still define rock 'n roll better than anyone else. And if they play the Superbowl then that's rock 'n roll. You can go watch Eastenders mister.
AAAAAHHHH it's so nice to be a FAN.

If the Seahawks are there then so am I.
Hawks in the Super Bowl with Stones at halftime...
That will prove a great time!
As to the "Sell Out" issue - I saw Bob Dylan groan and growl in a panty commercial - and he's the coolest cat on the entire fucking planet, so fuck it all, ok?
I allow advertising on some of my buildings.
I guess I'm selling out - - I sure love cashing those checks though!
The Stones are alive - and appear well - GOD BLESS EM! |

Exactly.
Look, it's not like Bob wrote that song for an underwear commercial. Iggy didn't write "Lust For Life" to sell cruises. If some company is gonna throw a large check at ya for something you already did...it'd be silly to NOT cash in.
I think we can all agree that the Stones of today are all about cashing the check. We either accept it or we don't.
I accept it because they gave us Midnight Rambler. |

its not about just taking a check to let a phone company use your song
this is totally different
playing the Super Bowl halftime show is just so Tom Jones
its just another Vegas moment for what was once the coolest band ever
half time shows are for the Garth Brooks, Mariah Careys, Shania Twains, Janet Jacksons and Timberlakes of the world
theres is absolutely no way to do it and NOT look cheesy.
It cant be done.
its a cheesy event. Anyone who plays it looks cheesy. So just let the cheesy bands play it.
Stones should of never of signed on. They dont need the money.
just another sign of how out of touch they are |

I accept it because they gave us Star Star and Respectable not to mention Midnight Rambler and about a 100 other songs.
Yes it could be cheesy but I don't care. Great exposure. Will show mainstream Americans that don't go to the shows, the Stones can still rock and always will. |

The Super Bowl will allow the boys to play their music to the biggest audience in the world.
They should play only one track; for about 10-12 minutes. That track should be Jumpin' Jack Flash complete with the brass section, backing vocalists and Billy Wyman playing double bass with Darryl Jones. |

Ahhhh Yes. Mr. Walsh,
I was just wondering what you may think of this. Hmmmm lots of stuff in your scenario. What about your boy Mick Taylor? Would he be permitted by Keif Riff Hard to join up for this great meeting? Would Mr. Taylor be mistaken for a float? Could the worlds audience handle all this? Hmmm. Interesting thoughts Mr. Walsh, Interesting indeed.
Let's hope our Mick doesn't break out the football pants. I think he knows better...
