A Super Bowl Sure Bet

One sure bet for the Super Bowl? The Who will play Baba O'Riley at halftime. Can't wait until the band takes the field Sunday? Check out my Who top-ten list that I now find questionable and conventional, my monster-post tribute to the Who that still holds up, and the Wholiday established by yours truly that is certain to become as big as Christmas. Here's my favorite halftime show. Hopefully, The Who measures up. What does it say about the state of pop culture that the NFL taps a rock group 35 years past its prime to headline its halftime show?

Best one

Tom Petty was the best one.

Pete "would you like a lollipop?" Townshend can rot in hell.

Think U2 was the best, hands down.

It does say somehing about today's music when all of the modern acts are bypassed for a retro 60's to 80's band.

Are there no new bands able to demonstrate that kind of star power?

I really liked Kool and the Gang at the Orange Bowl.

Why does the Who insist on playing as the Who after Moon AND Entwistle have departed?
