...work, created in 1969 by the British rockers the Who, qualifies as a nostalgia trip for the mid-life-crisis crowd. Its action stretches back even further -- from 1941, when the title character's parents meet, to 1963, when he emerges out of a strange and tormented youth into saintly yet affable manhood. Nonetheless, the show is strikingly more modern in style, subject, setting and above all sound than any "new" Broadway musical since Chess...

To prove them wrong, she would point to her well-worn collection of Beatles, Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead albums as evidence of a normal '60s youth. (Like her husband, she admits to having tried marijuana.) For good measure, she would remind reporters that she used to play the drums in high school (she still has her old drums set up in the basement). Maybe Tipper is more like Hillary than she at first appears. And maybe Hillary is getting more like Tipper. Last week...
