Did the rocker mime during his half time show appearance?

He did NOT mime or lip-synch! And it is an insult to even suggest it. Dumb American journalist talking out his ass. Cunt. How could you even see his lungs anyway!? He was wearing a jacket! His songs dont need to be sung or performed like the shite on X-Factor or other pop crap, as they are a REAL band, not pop shite who croon to the camera! The SuperBowl, and other US broadcasts may be used to pop shite like Janet Jackson and boy/girl groups miming, as they are talentless crap, but, if you actually know TP's music, you will know that he didnt, and would never mime! Besides, why would a band that's been touring and recording since the early 1970s need to mime! TP and the Heartbreakers showed the world what a REAL band should sound and look like. Would like to see utter shite like Hard-Fi or Radiohead or some pop act control a crowd of thousands as well as TP does. No band in the world come sclose to them live or on record - not even Pearl Jam!
