Coldplay at the Stupor Bowl.

Sting at the NBA All Star Game.

Demographic stretches...sadistic booking agents?

What's your theory?

Discuss.

Coldplay is very popular among people who consider chicken wings a delicacy.

Since the game will be over by then, it is probably a fitting eulogy...

Really? I did not know that. I would rather hear Nickleback than coldplay.

I am wondering if the NBA is trying to look less black as an attempt to attract more white folks.

That is a known. They recently examined who their ticket buyers actually were and why they were beginning to decline and they came to the conclusion that from the opening of the game to the end everything they were doing off the court was geared towards upping minority participation at the box office, but it was not materializing, so they decided to lighten up the off-court activities to shore up ticket sales.

Disagree. Coldplay caters to the deaf and those who hate America.

 

[Lancecastor]

I' m pretty sure both Coldplay and Sting live in the same part of town as KennyG at this point.

I can't think of many acts which are considered watchable by a large demographic mix suitable for a superbowel sized global audience.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Why do you think they threw in the minority?

 

[Lancecastor]

Snoop could probably cross all demographic lines.

Is it too late to book Run DMC and Aerosmith?

I'm thinking Kanye feat. Keith Richards

Or maybe Snoop feat. Willy Nelson

That Mayflower set sail long ago.

 

[FGB]

Who's playing in the Superbowl and when is it?

Yeah...Not a sports fan here unless they are female and wearing Bikinis.

 

[RoryN]

I lived through the halftime shows of the 80s and early 90s.

The worst today was better than the best back then. We shouldn't be complaining.

Cold Play is a girls band, the NFL is continuing to try to suck up to women while their stars abuse them.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Coldplay boring! Nickleback if they want the moms. Run DMC and Aerosmith is great idea. Some thing fun. Not grandiose and showy. Entertain during half time. I thought the dancers last year looked like the guys off the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8hP9-qnAxk commercial.

Not that he was ever all that, but Willie can no longer sing.

All he can do now is croak...

There's always the puppy bowl...



The cheerleaders are kittens.

Meanwhile, back in the reality based world, teams are realizing that playing Lynyrd Skynyrd during timeouts and featuring whites exclusively on kisscam isn't attracting the "mythical" 55-year-old white guy in the suburbs.

Sting signing on to that is somewhat of a surprise, and a disappointment.
