Despite the doom and gloom, The Who have been honoured at the VH1 Rock Honours in the US, an annual event designed to celebrate rock legends, this year just The Who. Various bands, including The Flaming Lips, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Tenacious D and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder were in attendance, and each performed a Who classic as part of the celebrations. I wonder if anyone had told any of them that Daltrey reckons "no one plays our music better than us". And I wonder if VH1 execs knew Sean Penn, one of the celebrities introducing the covers, was going to say "we're all here tonight because The Who never did sell out, unlike certain music channels".
