They don't fit the mold of what the NFL is looking for these days for the halftime show. The last rock act was The Who 11 years ago. Since then it's been all mainstream pop / hip-hop (Black eyed peas, madonna, beyonce, bruno mars, katy perry, coldplay/beyonce/bruno, lady gaga, j.timberlake, maroon 5, j.lo/shakira, weeknd).
Even if rock bands were a viable option, PJ doesn't have the same level of mainstream popularity as the Stones, etc.
Bingo. PJ as a band, to those dedicated members of its fan club on this little bubble of an online board, is huge. To the rest of the musical world, they’re not really that relevant and haven’t been for a while. (And before anyone throws out the whole Rock HoF induction as evidence of relevance...I submit to you another moderately irrelevant institution). It’s not so much a question of “should they” as it is “could they.” I love this band and have spent so much time and energy and money to see them. But they’re just not on that level.
All that aside, I think it’d be cool IF they did their Ten hits only. Sue me. Lol
And I will give a "bingo" to you! Great points all around.
