>>There was something really painful about the Who at half-time. Daltry ... oh my god. It was like watching Elizabeth Taylor recreate scenes from Butterfield 8 or Cleopatra. I was as sad as I could be for someone worth a kazillion dollars.

>It was painful to watch. I think one the worst parts for me was watching them and thinking of myself when My Generation was released and realizing that I am in the same boat as they are. It also gave me a real increase in respect for Mick being able to keep up with the new Stones.
For guys who hoped to die before they got old, ( most successful - Moon, runner up - Entwhistle ) I would have thought they'd rather leave us of memories of when they were live - At Leeds. I can't imagine generations that know the music only as CSI theme songs were very impressed.
Oh well, the Who on their worst geezer day still makes me glad they didn't book Kanye West or 50 Cent.
( Black Eyed Peas would have been kind of cool )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
