The NFL is now asking the halftime band to pay.
Before the band was not paid.
Interesting times. It's all about marketing.
Alternately, they should “be willing to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league.†|

C that's how the equal opportunity system works in any business that's in control of the table. Money talks and BS walks.  Uncle Leo J Eiffert Jr & the Pigeons - facebook. |

I had no idea that they made artists pay to play. Maybe that's why they get such crap to play the halftime shows.

Let's hope they get Britney Spears, and then someone turns off her autotune.

AF of M sent out an angry email about this today.
Our Brotherhood is outraged: "Though the NFL doesn't usually pay the performing halftime acts, this seems to be a new low" but then the author commits a putative error in judgment by pointing out that "A 30-second TV commercial cost $3.8 million and there were 45 minutes of advertisements during the game" as if this fact should entitle a performer to a share of the $342 million. A better case could be made that Katy Perry should pay $3.8 million for each half minute to promote her product, just like all the others. $91 million! |

| Remember, "the league's contracts with artists are confidential." |

Did anyone see Letterman's take on this last night? Hilarious. A clip of the halftime entertainment with Warren Buffet singing and playing the ukelele.

So, you have to pay for that "exposure"?
Maybe Janet Jackson simply couldn't afford to show us both boobs?
