Don Mischer will produce for the second year in a row, having succeeded in taking our minds off Janet Jackson's 2004 wardrobe malfunction with last year's Paul McCartney extravaganza that concluded with a sing-along of ``Hey Jude.''
Mischer says he isn't really concerned about the Stones being overexposed these days in the midst of the often sold-out ``A Bigger Bang'' tour. ``I think the fans would love to have more of the Stones. But I think the great majority of people who will be watching the halftime show will be people who have not attended a Stones concert.''
He said one way in which the 12 1/2-minute halftime show will differ from the road production is that the band's concert scenery takes four days to assemble, while some 650 halftime volunteers at Detroit's Ford Field will have to put together 56 set components in 6 1/2 minutes.
``When it comes to what could be said is the greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time, they're so strong and their repertoire is so strong, it's not an instance where you have to put two or three other performers with them,'' Mischer said.
As for warding off any potential wardrobe malfunctions (no ``Sticky Fingers'' album cover re-enactments are expected), Mischer said the Jackson breast exposure incident has inspired the NFL to be closely involved in every aspect of the show.
