The way I see it, they need to play three songs and I agree they need to be rockers. I do not see SFTD being played. SMU is an obvious contender. Given the lyrics of Brown Sugar, I do not see it as a possibility at the Super Bowl -- "Gold Coast slave ship bound for New Orleans" just has way too many negative connotations...and the song only goes further. Behind SMU, the two most logical contenders have to be "Satisfaction" and "Jumping Jack Flash" ("I was born in a crossfire huricane" seems like a perfect line for the fifty yard line on Super Bowl Sunday). Some dark horse contenders include "She's So Cold" -- especially if it is cold in Detroit that weekend -- and "Gimme Shelter" which features the amazing Lisa Fisher on the female lead -- she would outshine Janet Jackson like you would not believe. "Get off of my cloud" and "Paint it, Black" have been done very well on this latest tour and could get the spot. Another real darkhorse would be "Let's Spend the Night Together". They just played this oldie in Boston for the first time in eons. Given the history of this song and censorship on the Ed Sullivan show, they may want to take advantage of the large American television audience to get it right this time.

Here is my line,

Start Me Up 1-1
Jumping Jack Flash 5-2
Satisfaction 9-2
She's So Cold 8-1
Gimme Shelter 8-1
Lets Spend the Night Together 8-1
Get off of my Cloud 20-1
Paint it, Black 20-1

I hope Alan enjoys the show and gives us a little report up here!
