There is something I have been wondering about for a while and I can't think of a better place to ignite some discussion.
I am a long time Eagles fan (Even though I live in the Philadelphia area people often confuse this for attachment to the broken football team of the same name). But this is a football related issue.
There was an attempt to get the Eagles to perform at the half time show of the 2008 Super Bowl. They declined in favor of performing at the Grand Old Opry. I do not understand this decision. The band had just come out with a new album. Could there be a better forum than the Super Bowl (and its huge audience) for a band to showcase their work? I mean, no slight to them because they're both great, but Paul McCartney and the Stones? English performers, although great ones, at an American institution. I couldn't think of a better half time show than the Eagles. No wardrobe issues here. Any thoughts?
