Tom Petty Delivers Pleasing Super Bowl Halftime Show

OK, we’re not complaining but if half time Super Bowl acts keep going in the direction they have been, they’re going to have to resurrect Chuck Berry. At the risk of igniting the firestorm we did last year when we seemed to be the only people who had unkind things to say about Prince’s halftime show, we’re going to go easy this year. And with good reason. Tom Petty did a fine job.

Petty performed all his usual classics on a very cool looking stage shaped and designed like a guitar. We actually enjoyed the show. See? We can be nice sometimes.
