I remember when The Who broke on to the scene in the sixties along with other British invasion bands. They were fabulous. Most of these bands are long gone now, but The Who is legendary. They were great in the sixties and as the year’s progress they got even better, culminating with Tommy, a groundbreaking Rock Opera. But time moves on for all, including The Who.

As I watched The Who during the Super Bowl half time show I keep wondering…when is the NFL going to wake up and stop bringing America a bunch of has-beens. More people watch the Super Bowl halftime show than any other twenty minutes performance on TV…Why? Why would you give that time to an over the hill rock band whose singers can’t high notes anymore? My eardrums cringed when Roger Daltry strained then screamed out his very first note. Then when Pete Townsend tried to harmonize with Daltrey, I uttered “oh no” and said to myself..."this isn't The Who I remember".
I have seen many Super Bowl half time shows, but this years was the worst I can remember, even worse than The Rolling Stone’s 2006 disastrous performance.

Actually, 1964 was 45 (or 46) years ago, not 35.
