I never thought Bruce Springsteen would play the Super Bowl. Too obvious. Too gross. Too much of what represents everything wrong with America. And then when he announced that he and E Street Band would play it, I got psyched.
Here's a great piece from Sports Illustrated about the conflict many Springsteen fans feel about him performing at the halftime show. Very worthy reading.
I'm psyched too. But I'm psyched because I believe that he can bring some soul to a soul-less spectacle. It doesn't have to be that way, it never did and maybe Bruce can show them how to do it right.
