The Rolling Stones Have Gathered Moss

I've never really ever been much of a fan of the Rolling Stones. I realize their impact on music and all. I'm just not a fan. So I am biased in saying this.
The halftime show sucked.
Plain and simple.
The Stones sounded old and tired. Hell, by the end of the set Mick sounded winded. I was chatting with some friends online during the show and as soon as the first song started up, I said, "I bet they cant' say 'You make a dead man come'". I was surprised that they said they can't get no girly action, though!
I don't know that going Motown all the way for the halftime show would have been better either. The pregame show was pretty lame, too. It's been posted elsewhere but I'll repeat it here. Why couldn't they have given the pregame performers a few more minutes and let them do whole songs instead of a medley that served very little justice to the music they represented. It would have been no different if it had been the 12 minute set for halftime, though, so, like I said, it wouldn't have been any better at halftime.
I don't have much of a solution, really. Pick better acts, I guess. Use time wisely, mabye. If you're going to pay homage, do it properly. If you want a big name, pick one that can live up to the expectations, instead of one that lives off the name.
