Monday’s Hors d’Oeuvres: Tom Petty’s Boobs?
Ever since Justin Timberlake revealed Janet Jackson’s Nubian Nipple at Super Bowl XXXVIII, the NFL seems to exclusively tab classic rockers to perform during halftime at the Super Bowl as to not repeat that Awakening of Areola. The recent tradition continues, and the NFL yesterday officially announced that Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers got the gig at Super Bowl XLII on February 3rd in Phoenix.
Petty grew up in football crazy Gainesville, so we’re pretty sure he’s been to a big game or two. No word yet on whether Petty will dedicate Even The Losers to our woeful Jets, who finally played a good game yesterday. What else we got?
- The Disco Biscuits announce their first ever European tour
- Band of Horses plans a big world tour for next year
- Steven Van Zandt unveils a class about the history of rock music
- Revisiting the site of Otis Redding’s death forty years later
- Billy Joel takes a shot at the war with the release of Christmas in Fallujuh
- Saranac officially announces their deal with moe.
- Tea Leaf Green finally confirms their four-night New Years’ run
- Neddy lists the shows of the week
- Feel bad about downloading music illegally? Here’s your chance to atone
Finally, congratulations to Ryan Montbleau, Club D’elf and Martin Sexton for winning big at the Boston Music Awards…we enjoy all three.

Tom Petty at the SuperBowl? Finally a halftime I wont skip over.
Who remembers the good ol’ days of watching halftime craziness on MTV, or In Living Color?
I hope Tom has a wardrobe malfunction…
Some comedy on the American Idol front…some chick I’ve never heard of had the following comments to say in a confrontation with cops:
“Please don’t take me to jail, I’ll suck your dick if you don’t take me to jail.”
“You’re a dick-sucking faggot.”
“You fucking bitch, I’ll kick your ass. I’ll fuck you up, you whore.”
“Fuck you, nigger”

that saranac spot is some weak sauce.
take it from an ad guy (I grew up in an ad agency)
it’s a spot for like, a beer tradeshow.
other than that, the moe. partnership is virtually nil.
the voice over is very “80’s” health class.
the vid=photography is internish.
overall, I am convinced the ad company “quality controlled” too many Saranac Black Forests before doing that spot.
I am SOOOOOOOO disappointed by that.
LAME!
That’s an truly awful beer video.Please tell me that this is a hoax!
