CBS has announced that The Who will be performing at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV February 7, 2010 in Miami. The Who has a strong CBS connection with three of their most well-known songs being used as intros for the network's three CSI shows: "Who Are You" (CSI), "Baba O'Riley" (CSI NY) and "Won't Get Fooled Again" (CSI Miami).
The British rockers are comprised of only two original members, vocalist Roger Daltrey and songwriter/guitarist Pete Townshend, with original drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle passed away. Recent performers for the National Football League's championship game have included Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Paul McCartney, U2, The Rolling Stones, Prince and Bruce Springsteen.
Townshend announced on his blog on August 26, 2009 that he was working on a new musical project called , FLOSS, to be staged in 2011 and that some of the songs from that project would be included on a new album to be released in 2010. |

The wife and I saw Roger Daltrey last week at Chrysler Hall / Norfolk on his "Use It Or Lose It" tour. Great show, piss-poor turnout IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Pete Townshend's son, Simon, was covering the guitar work.

The only problem.. the bassist was no Entwistle "period". This Super Bowl half time is going to be a good one. |

Pino is a great bassist for some things, just not as a replacement for John Entwistle. (not that there ever can be, really) But they need someone who plays more like John did. There's just no spark like there used to be.

I wish I could believe for one second that their egos would allow that to happen.

For some reason Pete & Roger, to me, have become shallow versions of their former selves. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it's very sad for me to see these guys now. I really get the thought that maybe it's time for them to hang it up. But then again, that's just me.

It's about time for the "Retro Wave" to die. I definitely don't have any interest in seeing these two has beens on national TV and can't believe all the network hype their getting.
