A "12-minute party"

C'mon. It's the only reason to watch the Super Bowl this year: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's halftime show. Twelve minutes means three or four songs - or a medley, but no one but The Boss knows what will be played. Here's my prediction:

• "Waiting on a Dream" (new single from new CD - got to sell some records)
• "Born to Run" (probably the last song of the set)
• "Meet Me at Mary's Place" - his best live party song in recent years
• "Glory Days" - but the irony will be lost on the average fan
• "Rave On" - Okay, it's a Buddy Holly song, but keep in mind, next week marks the 50th anniversary of "the day the music died," when Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash. There's a new box set of Holly tunes being released soon, too.
