>4) No ballads: This is the beer and hot dog crowd. So don’t

>5) Do play guitar.

>6) Don’t showcase other artists like Shelby Johnson. I’m sure

>7) Don't change the naughty lyrics of your songs to reflect

>
>8) Don't play cover songs. No I do NOT want to here "Soul

>9) Here’s a suggested list of songs to play. Take them into

>I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
>Fury
>Electric Chair
>Anotherloverholeinyohead
>Strange Relationship

I dig what you are saying...I really do...But for God sakes, this is the Super Bowl (LOL)...No time to do any of the fan favorites or the obscure shit...This is Middle America folks...Beer drinking, pizza eating sports fans...The one thing we will agree on is that the midget needs to take out the guitar and play that motherfucker like he's posessed...
