The Who Rocked Our World
The Super Bowl Halftime Show, featuring The Who, was the highlight of an otherwise mundane game. Sure, there was a successful surprise onside kick, an interception returned for a touchdown, a record-tying 32 pass completions, etc., etc., but nothing could match the return of the stars of rock-and-roll, The Who. Their taut performance, with perfect pitch, great showmanship, and extraordinary guitar, drum, and organ playing literally stole the show. The laser lights, fireworks, and the pulsating ring of light surrounded these icons of rock only added to their performance – never upstaging these kings of rock and roll. From their well-chosen outfits to their non-stop song fest, these Brits brought the house to its feet. The magic behind their Super Bowl performance proved once again that rock and roll never dies.
A bevy of past hits, made even more exciting by the live venue, rocked our world and reminded us, once again, of why we love The Who. They are to rock and roll what the Saints are to football. The best team ever!
I salute The Who for giving Americans what they need during these tough times of record unemployment, debt, and malaise. A reason to stand and cheer.

Hell no longer exist.
The New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl and Hell just froze over.

The sheer technical achievement of making a stage like that, Getting it on and off the field as fast as they did and having it all work was just amazing. Frankly they just could have hauled that stage on the field, plugged it in for half an hour, and that alone would have been a better half time show than idiocy like Janet Jackson and Cool Dollar Bill G Money Diamond or whatever.
I wish whoever made that stage was running the country. Those guys can actually do something.
I try and watch at least a large portion of the Super Bowl every year to see if professional sports will somehow "take" with me. Usually I kind of enjoy the game, but in general I absolutely detest professional sports. However that was a show that truly rocked.
We all get older and we all get old. Same with our heroes. The key is to do it with grace. Fighting it just makes us look stupid and out of touch. We can still rage against the dying of the light...but not on the stage at halftime.
