Carlos Santana has a point….

After seeing Carlos Santana’s open post to the #NFL I had to reflect and agree that the NFL missed out on a really cool opportunity.

No disrespect to Beyonce’, Cold Play, or Bruno Mars…but we have seen them all perform before in previous Superbowl’s. I realize that the sponsor (Pepsi) probably paid for the right to have “their” sponsored artist featured…but let’s be honest…will you remember this performance next year?

Hell I barely remember last years performance by Bruno Mars!

Here are a few Bay Area Acts they could have considered for the “show”

Sly & The Family Stone, Sly & the Family Stone, Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis & The News, J Giles Band, Grateful Dead, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Green Day, Hammer, Tower of Power, Neil Young, Chris Isaak, En Vogue, Digital Underground, Boz Scaggs, Faith No More, DJ Shadow, Counting Crows, Tony Toni Tone, Spearhead, ….man I’m just getting warmed up!!

I really do wish that the NFL/CBS and whoever the powers to be who program this spectacle consider local talent….who knows, it may just help add some “live chills”

Peace
