That was that generation's big deal. I personally never liked Elvis, and I definitely didn't like football. I still don't.
But today's stars are for today's younger generations. They'll be the ones whining about the latest and greatest on TV in another 40 years. For now, this is their half-time show, their superstar. Ours are retired, dead, or on their way out. It's time to move over and give the new folks their day. They invite you to enjoy it with them - but you're not invited to trash it.

I agree with almost everything you say here, but all our stars are not completely washed up.
The Stones, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles and a few others have stood the test of time and could still rock the Super Bowl half-time show.
