more tabloid tosh

       Georgina Robinson writes in the Sydney Morning Herald that "Veteran rockers the Who's performance at the most coveted televised gig in the world was panned by some viewers but praised by music critics." under the headline: Rock of ages ... the Who get mixed rap for Super Bowl.

     The fragrant Georgina goes on to quote 5 "at home viewers" who all knock The Who's peformance.  That's 5 out of a US TV audience estimated at 40 million, plus countless tens of millions of worldwide viewers-and the roughly 100,000 stadium audience who gave The Who a standing ovation. Nice one.
