I wonder how much he paid to get the gig.

The Stones, McCartney, U2, Prince...Petty makes perfect sense. He's a living legend who will play a good set. There is no way to nail the Super Bowl, although Prince was great last year.

This year's Superbowl Halftime show is being sponsored by Bridgestone, a company which operates a rubber plantation in Liberia that has been characterized by child labor, abuse of workers' rights and environmental destruction. Please visit http://www.StopFirestone.org for more information and join the campaign to hold this company accountable!

But without child labor, the price of tires might go up!
