Super Bowl halftime shows, post-Nipplegate

There have been six Super Bowl halftime shows since the infamous 2004 performance that featured Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. These performers are: Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, and The Who. Going by these acts and/or their lead singers:

- All six have been male.

- Five out of six have been white.

- All six have been rock acts.

- The average age at the time of performance is 58.8 years old.

While I don't think anyone necessarily has fond memories of the 2001 show that included 'N Sync, Nelly, and Britney Spears, at least it was diverse.
