Won't Get Fooled Again

I am watching The Who perform Baba O’Reilly on VH1 Honors. Of the Beatles, Stones, and The Who, The Who are by far my favorite. I had the good fortune of seeing them about 12 years ago in DC. At that time, Pete Townsend, the greatest guitarist ever, could only play an acoustic guitar because of his hearing, but even with that, I have never heard a guitar fill an arena so completely. True legends even without Entwhistle and Moon. On Monday night, I am seeing two more legendary acts – The Police and Elvis Costello. I saw the Police from the 12th floor of the Pepsi Center last year. The show was entirely their hits – no filler at all.

And hopefully our generation "WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN".
