Post by IGBPost by CGVan Halen playing the Super Bowl halftime show would be the absolute
shit. Although their name pops up every year as a potential
candidate, next year, according to the VHND, it might really happen!
Hagar will have an "absolute shit" in his pants if that happens.
Well, it ain't gonna happen.
The NFL has gone so soft that they will probably ask Justin Bieber to
do it instead.

VAN HALEN
An Open Letter
I’m compelled to address the now-rampant rumors that Van Halen is
playing the Superbowl. First of all let me say this — be still my
pigskin heart. That honor has not been bestowed upon us at this time
though it is one we would accept in a NY minute.
Having heard VH blaring through stadium speakers on any given Sunday –
more like every given Sunday, the idea of playing there live would be
like – ‘okay, now we’re in the game’.
Van Halen’s collective memories are – and with all due respect to each
and every one of these memories, teeming with been-theres and done-
that’s, but none include playing at the Superbowl. Playing at the
Superbowl is a veritable holy grail of musical recognition, a highly
prized rite of passage for (game-changing) artists. Not a spiritual
rite with snake pits or Hebrew school or anything, but it’s up there.
We are not on Commissioner Goodell’s dance card at this time, but we
would be most honored to dance the halftime away in New Orleans.
It’s an honor to be considered and for that we would like to thank the
rumormongers all over the World Wide Web.
