Superbowl halftime...depressing

I dont know about you guys but the half time at the super bowl was depressing. Cant believe how old the Who looked. Pete Townsend wasent even playing most of the time and the bandana under his hat it was embarrising. And Rodger Daltry couldnt hit the high notes without his voice breaking. I dont know about you guys but Boy am I old.

Pete Townsend

Though he was going to fall down on the stage. Next tour they will be riding rascal carts and using walkers.

I don't know but I thought the performance was ok. Maybe it was me just wanting them to be better and my love for their music that made me think they sounded better than they actually did.

I had very low expectations, so I thought they were ok. The stage and lights were cool, Daltrey's voice was better than expected and they played decent songs. I'm not a Who fan, but for me it was better than watching that old fart Springsteen try to act like he was he was a 25 year old kid. One thing I could have done without was being subjected to Townsends belly button several times.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

love the who

I didnt mean to demean the who. They are one of my favorites quadraphenia and whos next are in my top ten of albums. I am 53 and its a shock to see the icons of your youth get old. Dont mean to put the who down!
