The Who

I find myself wondering, every now and then, how The Who could have never had a number 1 hit song. I mean, you would think that somewhere along the way this seminal band would have had at least one song that was at the top of the charts. Apparently competition was a whole lot stiffer back in those days than it is now. Because, seriously, they were a seminal rock band.

With an emphasis on ‘were’. Their performance at the Superbowl this year was just deeply depressing. They would have been a great half-time show thirty or forty years ago but as it was it was just depressing. I swear when I saw them play at Madison Square Garden some years ago they still had it and that it’s not just me imagining things. But okay, I guess that was eight years ago now. Wow.
