    Sorry I missed this earlier. I didn't see that tour but I don't think that trailer was from that show last year as it shows John Entwistle who died in 2002.

    Anyway with all due respect to the old guys out there, and I'm rapidly becoming one, I don't find watching 70 year old guys singing "Hope I die Before I get Old!" entertaining except for pure irony.

    I will remember The Who like this.

    And I'm a guy who never even saw Keith Moon play.

    Also I am annoyed that for Millenials they probably only know The WHo as the band whose music is played for crappy CBS procedurials.

    Tom Cotton is concerned that Iran already controls Tehran.

    He's worried about the Iranian government's increasing control of Tehran...their capital.

    Numerical age is one thing, you can't stop time from passing. But you don't have to get old. You try to stay mobile, you try to enjoy things, you embrace watching things change. And if you are playing a two hour rock show 4 times a week for 12 weeks, you aren't old.

    (yep, I had my 62nd last week)

    I hope I do die before I get crippled and bitter/

    Gov. Sam Brownback: Forcing women to have babies is part of ‘pro-economic growth agenda’ in Kansas
    http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/...part-of-pro-economic-growth-agenda-in-kansas/

    They really support each other,” Brownback agreed. “Frankly, one of the big problems we have in the country is we’re not forming enough families. And that is hurting our economic work and hurting our economic projection because the best place for that child is within a strong family. And if you’re not forming a family unit, you are also slowing your economic performance.”

    So stupid it hurts. I wonder if this will give pause to resident Brownback supporters.

    http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/gop-lawmaker-air-force-cadets-must-pledge-to-god-because-there-is-no-freedom-from-religion/

    I hope this isn't a real bill.

    I hope that isn't real either. The logic behind it is torturous. Let me get this straight while the Air Force dropped the mandatory last portion of the pledge I didn't see anything there forbidding a cadet to recite it. We're going to protect people's freedom of belief by forcing people to pledge to something they might not believe in?

    If this bill were to pass I don't see how it could or should survive a court challenge.
