Aretha Franklin Forgives NFL for Super Bowl Snub
Wednesday, February 01, 2006
DETROIT — The NFL offended the Queen of Soul, but now all is forgiven. Aretha Franklin, who will perform the national anthem at Sunday's Super Bowl here in her hometown, initially felt Detroit's rich musical legacy was being snubbed when the Rolling Stones were chosen as halftime performers.
"I didn't think there was enough (Detroit representation) by any means. And it was my feeling: `How dare you come to Detroit, a city of legends — musical legends plural — and not ask one or two of them to participate,'" Franklin told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"That's not the way it should be. Of course, they made that correction with no sweat."
Franklin wasn't the only displeased Detroiter. So the league belatedly announced that Motown legend Stevie Wonder would play before the game, and that Franklin would sing the anthem with New Orleans legends Aaron Neville and Dr. John plus a 150-member choir.
Franklin, who does not travel by plane, said she has been approached by the NFL in the past to sing at the Super Bowl, but didn't want to drive to those arenas from her home in suburban Detroit.
Now that the big game is here, Franklin is excited to take part, calling it "an ultra-special honor."

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said that from the beginning, the league wanted to honor Detroit's musical legacy. He also pointed out that the pre-game and halftime shows both last 12 minutes.
McCarthy also said Tuesday that singer India.Arie has been added to the list of pre-game performers. She will join John Legend, Joss Stone and Wonder in performing Wonder's hits as well as other Motown classics. The Four Tops also will perform prior to kickoff, but they will not be carried live on the ABC broadcast.
"It was always our intention to celebrate the contributions of Motown at the Super Bowl," he said.

Ahh, well that explains the rumored partially Motown-influenced stones setlist. Maybe that was an idea to compromise and make everyone happy. |

Detroit, as I have posted many times in the past, hates the Stones. Arethea Franklin ripped them yesterday on TV stating why not a local act....This will be a humiliation along the lines of the "JT Affair", "Salt Lake City" performance, and other similar humiliations. Why they have chosen to do this (ABB will still not reach 500K by next week) when it has been done by lame ass performers like Macca, U2, Janet and Justin, and the hideous Aerosmith, again shows a lack of good judgment by their PR department. The Euro sales are already a bust, and Japan even worse....this is an ill advised attempt to jump start some interest in ABB and pick up a few more seats in Europe. Sadly, it will fail miserably and result in the most brutal attacks next monday ...be prepared Stones fans, as our local sports radio station has already commenced the attacks.....next week is going to be a very tough week for most of us true Stones fans....

We will do it again... Unfortunately it was to brief at Stouts... I had to go across the street of love to greet the self exiled poster... Just when you showed up of course.
Seeing you after the gig was great, too bad they were kicking us out, we could've chatted for a while in MSG. |
