I can’t let this story pass us by.. Kipp Sherry, on Full Circle Magic, comments on this article in the Kansas City Star.

As reported by the Red Zone for the Kansas City Star.. as first reported by the Wall Street Journal.. and thanks to Kipp Sherry too..

The Super Bowl halftime show has evolved from a time-killing event to a full-fledged event.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bruno Mars were the halftime act this year, and they followed the likes of Beyonce, The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the NFL has narrowed down the list of potential performers for the 2015 Super Bowl to three candidates: Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay.

The NFL apparently thinks the halftime show is lucrative for the artists, as well. In that article, the Wall Street Journal reported that the NFL has asked artists under consideration for the show to pay to play, according to people familiar with the matter.

Perry, who is playing the Sprint Center on Tuesday night, and the other artists apparently were unhappy with this idea. Who can blame them?
