I hate Prince, but...

I just wish whoever organizes next year's halftime show grows some testicles and books someone decent, indie rock is hot as fire right now, booking the Shins or Bloc Party or Deathcab or Modest Mouse or any indie act that's been in the mainstream would be sweet. Or maybe even a rapper, Rakim's stuff is pretty harmless for the most part, maybe Beastie Boys because a lot of their stuff isn't too offensive, maybe even Luda or someone like that.

Prince has remained a pretty good artist in my opinion. Unlike a lot of old timers who tends to recycle their music and go to tour to get money. He's what Michael Jackson would've been if he didn't go crazy.

From a Chris Rock monologue about MJ's pedophilia: "Remember back in the 80's when everyone was arguing over who was better, Michael Jackson or Prince. Prince won."

If they got The Shins on the next superbowl halftime, I might actually care enought to watch it.

You know who'd make a good halftime act? Justin Timberlake! He could do SexyBack and...

Oh wait.

But the fact that CBS did the Super Bowl this year meant that they were under a lot of scrutiny. Even Prince was a bit of a risk, IMO, and obviously some people interpreted it through that magnifying glass.

I don't think this has hurt Prince's career at all, though; I've heard people say he was the best part of that game.
