I thought The Who looked and sounded pretty darn good during the Super Bowl halftime show.
But we didn't wonder why "My Generation" was omitted from the repertoire. Oh, I don't know, lines like, "I hope I die before I get old," originally sung 45 years ago (!) could strike some people as funny.
For youngsters in the crowd, here's The Who's Woodstock rendition....
If you couldn't understand the lyrics, read them here
Do I have a pro-life point here?
Ah, yes. The day before the Super Bowl the Satirical Political Report wrote that Tim Tebow's message would be, "Don't abort the next g-g-generation."

What better message than the one you just described? =)
