The Who's "The Song Is Over" concert in Philadelphia postponed
The Who concert tonight in Philadelphia, part of the legendary rock and roll band's "The Song Is Over — North American Farewell Tour," has been postponed due to illness. In a social media post, Xfinity Mobile Arena, formerly the Wells Fargo Center, said the venue and band are working "quickly to schedule a new date." No makeup date has been announced. Ticketmaster says ticketholders should hold onto their tickets because they'll be valid for the new date. Tonight's show was planned to be the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band's final performance in Philadelphia. The Who, led by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, kicked off a 16-city North American tour last Saturday in Sunrise, Florida. The Philly date was set to be the third show of the tour. According to the tour schedule, the band has a scheduled day off Friday before the next concert Saturday at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The band announced the tour, named after its iconic 1971 hit "The Song is Over," in May. The Who are among the legendary 1960s British Invasion bands that include The Beatles, The Animals, Bee Gees and The Kinks, among others.

The Who farewell tour hits Newark: Pete Townshend shares Bruce Springsteen memory
The song is almost over for the Who, but the memories will certainly linger. Guitarist Pete Townshend reminisced fondly about the Who's history in Jersey during the band's Song is Over tour show Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the Prudential Center in Newark. 'It's sad that this will be our last time through,' Townshend said. 'It's great to be here in Newark. The main memories I have of playing in New Jersey, I'm lucky to say, in the early days is we had this kid on the side of the stage watching us and his name was Bruce Springsteen.' The PruCenter audience let out a big "Bruuuce" cheer. A teenage Springsteen did see the Who at Convention Hall in Asbury Park in 1967 on their debut U.S. tour with Herman's Hermits. 'Wow,' Townshend said. 'He's close behind us but he's still bearing his chest.' Tuesday's show was the second of the tour, and Townshend made a point to say it will be the last. 'We may appear with other artists, we may do similar stuff together Roger and I but we will not be touring as the Who again,' Townshend said. It was a noble departure and a thrill to see and hear Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey perform some of the most iconic music in rock 'n' roll. Most of the songs were originally recorded with late Keith Moon on drums and John Entwistle on bass, two of the most singular talents in rock history. Tuesday's setlist zeroed on in the band's big, expansive post''60s FM radio hits, and the eight-member ensemble, which included Townshend's brother Simon Townshend singing 'Going Mobile,' put their stamp on the classics. Pete was windmilling on his guitar and had full voice for the songs he sang on, including the lead for the 1982 hit 'Eminence Front.' 'Join this (blanky) little party, you got to dress to kill,' sang the ever wry Townshend at the end of the song with the music dropped out. Daltrey, however, labored on stage early in the show. The 81-year old seemed stiff and vocally reticent at the onset. He stopped a performance of 'Behind Blue Eyes' 25 seconds into the song for a cup of water. Townshend didn't seem happy. 'You could be drowning, it's the beginning of the (blanking) song,' said Townshend, who then addressed Daltrey off mic. 'I'll finish the cup of water,' said Daltrey, non-plussed. Daltrey seemed a bit more buoyant after the exchange. He was fairly majestic on 'Love Reign O'er Me' and by the time for 'Won't Get Fooled Again,' the legend delivered one of his remarkable yells after the song's extended break to loud applause from the 12,000 in the audience. Glory attained on a night of new memories. BBT and the Boxmasters, fronted by actor Billy Bob Thornton, opened the show. 'We're honored to death to be standing before you here,' said Thorton from the stage. The Who plays Thursday, Aug. 21 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and return to New Jersey for a Saturday, Aug. 28 show at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The tour is scheduled to conclude Sept. 28 in Las Vegas.

Mom of 3 POV: What the Backstreet Boys Taught Me About Parenting
I was recently fortunate enough to go and see the Backstreet Boys perform live in Las Vegas. And look, I wasn't really a superfan growing up, although I did have a favorite (Kevin, obviously) and a poster tacked up on my bedroom wall next to my beloved Got Milk? ads. But I hadn't listened to the boys in decades. Still, when my middle-school besties suggested a trip down memory lane, you bet I packed my crop top, kissed my three kids goodbye and hopped on a plane. And let me tell you: they were so good. The venue was amazing. Their voices were flawless. The 'zaddy' jokes were spot on. But the best part was the trip itself—two days in Vegas with my friends, without kids. A blissful 48 hours with no meal prepping, laundry or anyone pestering me for snacks. Even the flight felt like a vacation. I knew I'd come home with fewer bags under my eyes and at least one chapter down of the beach read I bought back in June. What I didn't expect was to come home with parenting wisdom—straight from Brian, Nick, Howie and crew. Well, not from them exactly. From my younger self. See, it's easy to laugh at who we were before kids. You've seen the clips on social media—the seasoned parent who jokingly reverts back to her younger self and smugly tells the camera something along the lines of, 'When I have kids, I'll never give them iPads at a restaurant; they'll just sit politely making conversation and enjoying their crab cakes.' It's funny because it's true! Pre-kids me was definitely clueless. I once babysat a 9-month-old and kept him in pajamas all day because I thought that's what babies wore. Another time, I left a 6-year-old home alone while I ran out for takeout. (Don't worry, he's fine. I think.) But here's the thing: pre-kids me was fun. Not just that, but she was messy, daring and joyful. She stayed up all night laughing with friends, built forts in the living room just for the heck of it, danced in kitchens, belted out pop songs and didn't care who was watching. And somewhere between the endless school forms, Cheerios stuck between carseats and simultaneous tantrums, I seem to have misplaced that version of myself. Research shows that listening to the music of your youth can actually boost your mood. But it was more than that. Seeing the Backstreet Boys perform live was the perfect combination of nostalgia and sisterhood. It was songs from a simpler time sung at the top of my lungs next to my best friends, most of whom are also moms navigating their own versions of chaos. Suddenly, I remembered that beneath the daily grind of bedtime negotiations and sibling squabbles, parenting is supposed to be fun. Because honestly, why else would I have signed up to do it (and three times no less)? What's Working (for Now) It's still scorching here, which means the kids are basically demanding ice cream daily. My hack? Smoothies once or twice a week with hidden veggies included (I usually toss in a handful of spinach or a few florets of frozen cauliflower). Then I pour the leftovers into popsicle molds. They get their ice cream fix with a sneaky serving of greens and I get five minutes of peace. Mom of 3 POV: Being a Parent Makes Me a Better Person but a Worse Friend Solve the daily Crossword
