Okay, so The Who are ready to rock out the Super Bowl today, and moldy old lead singer Roger Daltry says it’s “15 minutes you’ll never get back.”
But why would you want it back?
Rock legend Peter Townsend remarked, “When Roger and I take the stage as half of The Who, it’ll be awesome … I mean, what better way to celebrate half a game than with half a band.”
When asked about the upcoming performance Townsend said, “Playing with a full band would be inappropriate, because the other two dudes are dead, so Roger and I would have an unfair advantage. Besides, whole bands are only appropriate when a whole game has been played.”
So the iconic British rocker duo is set to perform some of their classics, including Pinball Wizard, My Generation, Happy Jack and the stupidly named Baba O’Riley, of which Daltry says is “an incredible song written while we were high on drugs, raspberry incense and Monty Python.
"Peter and me are going rock this town, like the early days of MTV ... not that rap crap they do today," says Roger Daltry. "Hey, where's that cute little MTV chick who used be on the show. Mary? Marilyn? Martha? Ah, I forget her name. Shit."
“And just disregard the fact we say ‘teenage wasteland’ throughout … okay, if we’d known about Google we’d named it Teenage Wasteland. Damn, we really booted that one.”
The set for the halftime rock show includes a giant inflatable panda bear, a full-scale replica of a Styrofoam cup and 100 pairs of yellow rubber fishing waders. And Townsend is giddy. “Everyone watch closely, cuz Roger may pull back my shirt, releasing my hairy little 83-year-old nipple.”

When asked which Super Bowl team they hope wins the game, both replied, “Game? Isn’t this Woodstock 3?”
