I'm trying to understand what it says about the state of American music and culture that, in every Super Bowl half time show since the wardrobe malfunction, a song less than 30 years old hasn't been sung.
I have plenty of fond memories of the Stones, Bruce, and to a far lesser extent, the Who. But what will the NFL do when all these guys are dead?
American music is in a sucky state.
I only listen to 40's music and punk rock.
Sirius Satellite radio, unfortunately, has dropped its only punk rock channel, but there is of course a WHO channel.
The dirty commie hippie bastards running major media will have to die off before we are rid of the 60's bands.
Contemporary music is even worse.
You listen to the s&it that comes out of the radio these days? I'll flip the station over to TBS if they start playing Queen Latifa at halftime
Ummm . . . no.
They were a lot better than Springsteen last year!!!
Yep, they got better as time went on.
It’s nostalgic to me (my age group)
Anyway, last time a contemporary performer was there, my kids got an eyeful. Hoping to not repeat that one!
They are also missing one of the greatest drummers and bass player.
This just in:The Who should take the pension!
The show I saw sure didn't. Lamest rock and roll show I ever witnessed. Daltrey swinging a mic looking at his watch the whole time.
They were really great ... listening to them while jazzed up on a bunch of JD at least. My gf and I were rockin’ out....
They did good for what they are left with these days.
Let’s face it - they aren’t the 20 yr. old angry young punks they were when they made all those hits anymore.
Daltrey sounded way better than the last time I heard him.
And also, it’s a HALFTIME show... what are ya gonna do? -cut up a string of big hits and medley them. It is what it is...
Hey, I’d love to go to a football game and as an added bonus get to see what’s left of The Who!
Not bad for what it was.
Don’t Think So, Over 45 Club says they Suck along with CBS
Who... Who are those OL’e FOOLS?
Best rock and roll song ever written/sung:
Won’t Get Fooled Again.
Good grief! they sounded fine! (Lay off with the old jokes)and I’m on the cusp of 40) You complainers should really relax! Pete rocked and Roger had his voice tonight...Lord folks...geez...
Nonstop Rap. Unless that's what you want, quit bitchin'
I don’t watch much network TV anymore. Am I mistaken or has CBS become the CSI Broadcasting System?
Haha, yeah, that seems like all they’ve got.
I’m 60 and they sucked
