I would argue it has been anything but a good mix. In the last 10 years there have been only two country artists. Shania Twain and Faith Hill. I don't consider the dixie chicks country since they have left country music for pop, but even if you do count them, the count is 3 to 34.
BTW thanks to HillsdaleHHR for posting the info. Brings back memories of all the performers of the past, good and bad.

It's spelled Dave Grohl. That's part of my name
I know I'm a loser. As an avid Foo Fighters fan, I was excited but horrified as he ATTEMPTED to cover best of you. I'm also bummed that I didn't see any nipples this year

While I agree that they need a hip-hop act in the mix I'm afraid of who the will book. If they do book a hip-hop act it will probably be someone that sucks but is popular. I don't see why everyone is bit**ing about prince. The man is an incredible guitarist, his music generally kicks ass, and he is a living legend. It could be a whole lot worse. They could book someone like The Kids of Widney High for the halftime show.
