The Who will rock Super Bowl XLIV 

By MJD

SI.com's Hot Clicks breaks the news this morning that The Who will be performing during halftime of Super Bowl XLIV. There was some earlier talk of Bon Jovi playing the gig, but I guess that didn't work out.

Opinions will vary, as they always do. Optimistically, I do believe that The Who has some songs that will make for a fun halftime show -- "Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Who Are You", and "The Seeker", to throw out a few. I'm also assured by Jamie Mottram, who's seen them perform live recently, that The Who can "still bring it."

Myself, I've accepted that the Super Bowl Halftime show just isn't aimed at entertaining me. Or anyone under the age of 40, for that matter. It's aimed at entertaining (or at least not offending), the slightly older, extremely mainstream audience that the biggest television event of the year draws. Four of the last five Super Bowl Halftime acts have been white males in their late '50s or older.

I'm cool with it, but I'm anxious to get everyone else's thoughts. Would you rather have someone a little more current, or are you cool with Roger Goodell only picking bands that are represented in his personal CD collection?



The Who is a fricken amazing band.

With two of their members having passed away, Pete Townsend looking like a zombie and having been 'disgraced', it's barely The Who who's playing anymore, but I'll take it over Rihanna, Justin Timberlake or something like that.

Like I said in PP.O.. I never cared much for the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. I typically mute it and talk with the many friends I've watched it with for the past 3 years.

I'm usually laying in my bed, just watching the SB, so it's either porn ads, 200th rerun of That 70s Show or the halftime show.

A while ago, I would've gone with That 70s Show, but as of late, with Tom Petty, Rolling Stones and Springsteen, I'd rather watch the halftime show.

It might've gone down a bit on flashyness, but the music is so much better.

I heard they are thinking about "Slim Whitman" for the halftime show.

On PTI yesterday they were asking, "Will anyone hang around to watch The Who?" Interesting question.
