ZZ, but Uncle Ted could put on a show. Let Beyonce sing the anthem.

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.

hehe, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 20 years ago; an honor, usually reserved for people long retired, that happened 20years ago I'm 46 and they were pretty much over by the time I began listening to what music I wanted to listen to. 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.

I don't mind saying that, for me, the Who never had it.
