I don’t know, It was hard to tell with my TV in Mute mode. LOL

Their singing was like nails on a blackboard.

At least it wasn't No Doubt.

What a debacle THAT was.

At least The Who is relevant, because of CSI.

I didn’t notice his final line (that’s good though!), but the performance was great. Right out of my era, it’s unbelievable they were able to put on a show for that duration of time, without looking all cra**ed out.

I watched about 3 minutes and went off to play with a toddler instead. I never liked The Who to begin with — and this was just torture.

Then again, the cheers could have been more of a commentary on The Who’s several dozen retirements.

GREATEST
ROCK
BAND
EVER

The Who (what remains) really showed their age, but those old geezers rocked HARD.

It looked like Daltry was about to pass out after the harmonica solo ;)

They sounded better than I expected. I saw them live in 1980. They were pretty good back in the day.

I think one will hear what one wants to hear.

Michael Moore is a bully, says Who guitarist (from 2004):

I don’t know about getting fooled again, but I thought their performance was lame. It was mostly pre-recorded and was not worthy of the group. What are there, two members left?

He ended the first farewell tour performance concert that I saw with that expression. They cheered Baba O’Reilly pretty hard too.

Been better if he ripped up a picture of Obama, akin to Sinead O’Connor.

It was the best Superbowl halftime show EVER.

But I didn’t see it as anything political, just the fans enjoying a really good show.

I think the who sucked. Why can they get an American band for an American Institution, the Super Bowl?

Considering that the album Who's Next? came out around 1974, I always assumed the song was about being "fooled" by "Tricky" Dick Nixon. The guys are much older now, so I suppose they may have become more conservative; who knows?

However, Townshend "came out" as a bisexual about 15 years ago, so I doubt it. Roger's voice is really shot.

No, but I did notice during the pregame, the big screen in the stadium showed a picture of our troops and the crowd roared.

The Who are probably libs, but I did get a kick out of Roger Daltrey not wanting to perform in another global warming awareness concert recently. His quote (more or less) was “What’s the point? Is there a single person left on Earth that hasn’t been told about global warming?”

That was their opening song at the special concert that was held about a month after 9/11.

"We don't get fooled again!" to have a conservative theme

I've heard Townsend say that he wrote it to express his disappointment with the "Woodstock" generation, so I suppose you could say that anything critical of that is, by default, conservative. It's not in and of itself a conservative notion to say that the more things change, the more they stay the same, it's just merely worldly wise.
