Elvis Has Left The Building
How do you like the sound of watching magic tricks at the Super Bowl? This has actually happened in the past. Let us just say that this changed the course of the halftime performances. In 1989, Elvis Presto took the stage as a magician and Elvis Presley impersonator. This happened at Super Bowl XXIII. He was accompanied by the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile and 2,000 dancers at the time. It was an attempt to lure in viewers, and it kind of worked. Dan Witkowski, the producer of the show, said, “[A]ll of the baby boomers were trying to cling on to the past and so it just all kind of clicked from that standpoint.”
