“So what took so long? I've always wondered why the NFL insisted on booking their halftime show like they were providing the entertainment for a 40-year class reunion. Aren't 18 to 34-year-old males the ‘coveted demographic?’”

“Given the NFL’s history with halftime scandal - remember Janet Jackson’s ‘wardrobe malfunction’ - Prince seems a rather risky choice. This is a man who once wore butt-less pants to an MTV Awards show.”

“I was relieved when I heard that Prince was selected to provide the entertainment at halftime of the Super Bowl. My first choice would be going with just your traditional NFL halftime, but television and corporate dollars make that an impossibility.”
