This summer, National Review magazine called "Won't Get Fooled Again" the greatest conservative rock song of all time. Townshend says that's "on the money." The self-described "working musician" who sees his job as "helping the audience to forget themselves," says he never really bought into "all that hippie s- I so despise."

In the mid to late 60's,the Who was among the greatest R&R groups.Today,I wouldn't cross the street to hear them do anything...old or new.

But that's just me.

with a band that includes drummer Zak Starkey (son of Ringo Starr)

I admit I'm not a huge Who fan, but I think Zak is a great post-Moon drummer for them. He has his father's timing with Moon's energy. Just my two cents' worth...
