Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers proved to be a perfectly decent halftime attraction last night at Super Bowl XLII. Not Prince, but not bad. And in the musical facedown of the evening, hip-hop (and techno) scored a victory over heavy metal. Tom Brady and The Patriots came out on the field to the strains of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train." That locomotive was derailed, however, by Eli Manning and The Giants, who made their entrance to "Stronger," the Kanye West/Daft Punk collabo seen right here.
