It's half time at Super Bowl XLIV and The Who are performing. They first came together in 1964 - that's 46 years ago. They were a good band, but c'mon! One of them was screaming during the set and it was a herniated disc at L4-L5 that locked up, but the fans loved it. I'm pretty sure the drummer also left midway through too, but he was back before the big finale. Nothing that Flomax couldn't handle, but the miserable British healthcare system probably won't pay for it. Oh well, I guess the NFL had to choose between a wardrobe malfunction a la Janet Jackson or the possibility of a full blown coronary in front of a worldwide audience and they brought it off. Stunning. Rock on, dudes; rock on!
The Who never would have performed in Super Bowl 44 if their music hadn't recently been featured on Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and oh yeah, some very prominent CBS TV show opening themes.
ReplyDeleteRock on dudes - but don't fall out of the rocker.
