Well, I rather have heard him ask Roger about more up to date info--like 
what the band members are doing now and what plans they have.  

Conan's living 30 years in the past.  You might consider the interview a 
gesture at music history, but then what impression will the uninformed 
audience take away from it? 1) The Who is a rock band that used to wreck 
hotels a lot.  2) Roger used to wear leather costumes a lot.  3) They 
might have done a song called "Won't Get Fooled Again" and a tour called 
"Tommy."  4) This guy Keith Moon is a really poor driver. 

Well, okay.  Conan did say The Who was the world's greatest rock band, 
but I sure couldn't tell a lot about them from the conversation.  Hmmm.  
Do you suppose the music might still be available?  Probably not, seeing 
as how it so old. <wink>
