RUMOR - Bob Dylan replaces Beyoncé as Super Bowl halftime performer, or so says Tim H
http://www.avclub.com/articles/bob-d...line%3Adefault
By Marah Eakin January 30, 2013 Bob Dylan has replaced Beyoncé as the Super Bowl halftime performer—or at least Tim Heidecker says he has. According to the ex-Rolling Stone editor and Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! star, the folk warbler has replaced the pop star after her inauguration lip synching scandal left the country—and sponsor Pepsi—so shocked and saddened that the only cure was a notoriously eccentric 71-year-old. Reminding the world that nothing screams contact sports like an old man in a floppy bow tie, Dylan even (supposedly) dropped a new single around the announcement. “Running Out The Clock” was (allegedly) recorded around the time of Dylan’s Infidels album in 1983, but hasn’t been released until now. Thank heaven the singer had this song chock full of football metaphors just sitting around, gathering dust on an archives shelf somewhere. Here’s hoping he’s got a bunch of old dance moves in storage, too. |

Beyonce is actually a pretty brilliant pick because she has a legion of obsessed female fans who are going to watch the Super Bowl just so they can watch/worship her. They're reaching a whole new demographic. Having acts that old white dudes like never really made sense because old white dudes are already watching the game, because it's football.

Your only hope is for a wardrobe malfunction.

This is almost like an Onion piece, too. Instead of Beyonce, one of the hottest performers in the world at the height of her prime, you want to "connect with today's audience" by getting the Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers, two bands who appeal to a small slice of the population and may have, for all I know, called it quits 10 years ago. |

I’d be a lot more interested in watching Beyoncé than Dylan. Never been much of a Dylan fan and though I’m not that much of a Beyoncé fan either, I’ve got lots of respect for her singing talent lip synching or no.
