Recently it has been revealed that Michael Jackson will not be performing on the Superbowl. Instead, "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" will have that honer. Which is fine since I like his style too. He was on an album called "The Traveling Wilburys" featuring former Beatle George Harrison(and his son), Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Jim Keltner around 1988-1990.
Now don't worry, Jackson will have a spot for an advertisement. A SoBe Life commercial by Pepsi. A vitamin-enhanced flavored water beverage featuring the King of Pop. It will be a kick start to promote Thriller 25. Even better, He is expected to show-up next Sunday for the 2008 Grammys(Update: Due to bad health he was a no-show).
His new album debut is still a mystery. Again, rumors abound "I have this dream" and "I'm Dreamin'" will be possible candidates. But at this point, no one really knows.
So if you were really hoping for Jackson to perform, I just Hate to be the bearer of bad news. But I'm sure you'll like Tom Petty. He's got some talent too. Trust me, once he releases his new album there ain't no turning back!
