I thought it was a good show. I enjoyed it.

Nah, they are singing those songs so that everyone is subconsciously thinking about the different franchises of “CSI.” I bet CBS is giving them a mint to do that.

Bring back the “New Kids on the Block,” well really, they would be “Middle Aged Men in the Bar” by that time. B-D

“Pinball Wizard? Seriously?”

Frankly there are several bands they could have chosen from rather than dusting off these octogenarians. The freaking WHO??? WHO...WHO FORGOT TO LOCK THE DAMNED DOOR TO THE REST HOME?

They have to find an act that won’t offend anyone.

They were quite a different band when I saw them 35 years ago, when all the members were still alive and they didn’t have a bunch of nameless guys supporting them.

Sorry. I love The Who and there has never, ever been a better time for the song, "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Frankly, we should have it blasting at every single voting place in this country.

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?

You're missing the point. All these old bands get halftime gigs because they fit the NFL demographic; that is, upper-middle age men. When they all die off, then the halftime performers will change to reflect the new demographic that replaces them.

They are old and worn, yes. But what do you expect from 70’s rockers? Actually, the last tune ‘We Won’t Get Fooled Again” is spot on, if you’re looking for a message to or from the voting public!!!!!! Eh?????

I don’t get it . . . some people won’t be satisfied unless they see (and hear) Disney’s latest boy-band.

There isn’t anything good and original nowadays. It’s all glitz and distractors to hide the non-talent.

Par for the course as far as recent halftime shows.

But ‘The Who’ is no longer ‘The Who’, rather “The Who on ice”.

How come nobody told Townshend that fist-banging and finger-tapping went out with the David Lee Roth version of Van Halen in the 80’s? I mean, he’s PETE TOWNSHEND for goodness sakes! ACT like it!!!

How about if they played Sousa, and dispensed with the male and female strippers?

They have no talent and tried to make the lack by being loud!
