The Who Super Bowl

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “A couple of people said to me they could have done with more Who and less football. But I suppose it’s best if I tell the truth. I felt nothing. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a great big football stadium or a little club somewhere. As soon as I get close to a stage, I feel very at home and very safe and secure. It feels completely normal. When the NFL started to talk to us about this, one of the things they started to talk about was the numbers. I looked at Roger and looked at them and I said, ‘I’ve done a solo show in front of 80 million people on TV.’ The abstract numbers make no difference.” —Pete Townshend to Rolling Stone, on The Who’s Super Bowl halftime performance.
