A Dead Head started a petition recently to coax the NFL into asking the remaining Grateful Dead members to play the halftime show at next year's big game, so far it has over 12,000 signatures.Douglas Machado, a Grateful Dead fan in Pennsylvania, had hoped to gather 10,000 signatures on his petition, but the numbers kept adding up and he's gaining more and more exposure. Officials from the Grateful Dead have said 'We're in' if the NFL were to ask the band to play.
