It wouldn't be hard to put together a great setlist for the Who's Super Bowl halftime show, but everybody knows that isn't what we are going to get. It'll be "Baba O'Reilly" and "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "See Me, Feel Me", and probably "Squeeze Box". It'll sound like a car commercial, but I can't fault the NFL for inviting Townsend, Daltry & Co-- sure it's dinosaur rock, but there just aren't that many acts that appeal to the NFL demographic which can put on a stadium show. It is a dwindling list, too, which means that we can certainly look forward to Elton John, Rod Stewart and-- bet the house on it, KISS. I hope we get the real KISS, with the kitty behind the drum kit, and as I'm writing this I'm thinking, "You know, KISS wouldn't be so bad...."
