Oh, and i'll take Tom Petty over Prince or Janets nipple for any superbowl, or performance in general.

In fairness to Super Bowl organizers it was every bit as exciting as the Tom Petty concert I was at a couple of years ago. Except that I also got to see a great band open for him (The Black Crowes) which made it worth the price my brother paid for the ticket ;)

LOL, right! Dude doesn't look like he's aged a year. You do know that he plays that character Lucky, on King of The Hill?

In other news, way to go for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers!
