| Well, hundreds of millions of people watch the Super Bowl, I'm pretty sure not all of them are tweens who worship the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus. The half-time show has had a pretty good variety of bands over the years, catering to both the younger and older crowds (and let's remember it was on CBS this year).
I thought the Who got off to a pretty rough start, Pinball Wizard was pretty hard to listen to; but after that it got better, and overall I thought it was pretty decent. No, they don't sound quite like they used to on the vocals, but that's to be expected. Heck, most of today's pop-singers can't sing live, and they don't have their age to use as an excuse.

The Who was a band for a small part of the viewing audience - next year The Stones will play again, sponsored by Boniva, the once-a-month bone density pill.  | | | |

I think it was a plot by CBS to promote their CSI series of shows.  | | | |

I think the Who has good music ... but not a great stage presence for a Super Bowl Crowd.
I didn't feel like they rocked the house enough, but they were better than Queen Latifah.

I liked The Who's performance, considering they're older than my parents. Carrie Underwoods performance was eh, and Queen Latifa's performance was great.
I liked this years halftime show as opposed to a couple years ago when they had Nelly and a bunch of other hip-hop artists (who are escaping me right now). That was one of the worst ever.
