I agree, as old as they are I thought they were good, enjoyed seeing them again. And yes there does seem to be a conservative slant to “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. I always liked that song.

Never bought any Who records, but I know a lot of their songs from the radio. (Thank you, KLOS & KMET, back in the day. Hooyah Toyah!) I thought they weren't bad. Sure, Daltrey had troube reaching the higher notes, and the Homer Simpson phrase "Watch the blubber fly!" came to mind in watching Pete. But they are both incredible musicians. Daltrey has been with the Chieftains before, and he was able to merge his stuff with Irish old guys. Oe of my favorite songs is "You Better, You Bet," but I don't think they would've allowed it.

As for who could be in next year's, think about it:

Fleetwood Mac has disbanded, and the thought of a roundish pixie floating about the stage is unnerving at best, and nausea inducing at worst.

Kansas has broken up. One of the guys from Boston is dead. Toto? Maybe. Electric Light Orchestra? Even though a lot of their songs are used in commercials, it's been a Jeff Lynne thing for years. The Cars? Ocasek is in seclusion with his hot wife, and didn't perform on a tour this past year. (Todd Rungren took over lead, and I heard he wasn't bad.) Earth, Wind & Fire? Possibly. They have the most original members, IIRC, and they can still kick. The Village People? Please. Talking Heads would be fun, but they might be too wierd for Super Bowl.

Anybody else out there who might be able to do a Super Bowl show who isn't oversexed, too young to appeal to a wide audience, or a one-hit wonder?

Wait!! This just in.......ROXETTE will team up with ACE OF BASE for the 2011 Super Bowl!!!!!
