THE WHO REVISIT "QUADROPHENIA" FOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

LONDON (AP) -- Maybe this time Pete Townshend will remember the "Quadrophenia" shows. The Who will perform "Quadrophenia" in its entirety on tour beginning November 1 in Sunrise, Florida. Townshend says when they staged "Quadrophenia" in 1996 and '97, he only remembers the Madison Square Garden show because it was chaos, but none of the other 100-plus shows. Townshend says the "Quadrophenia" story is still relevant, because it's about a young man who doesn't fit in. The Who will also screen a documentary called "Can You See The Real Me?" about the making of "Quadrophenia" in theaters for one night on Tuesday. Details are at www.FathomEvents.com .

THE WHO WILL LIP-SYNCH AT THE OLYMPICS

LONDON (AP) -- The Who will play the Olympics closing ceremony and they're admitting it right now: they're lip-synching. Roger Daltrey says it's not a rock show and they can't do it live because the athletic events will be going on there. Daltrey says they've recorded a "fabulous ending for the Olympics." Pete Townshend says it's not quite a medley but a "carefully structured thematic piece." Daltrey says it's not about The Who but about making great music for athletes who have devoted their lives to competing in the Olympics.

RICKY MARTIN WANTS TO DO BROADWAY FOREVER

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ricky Martin is crazy about Broadway. He plays Che in the Broadway production of "Evita" and he says he'd love to do Broadway the rest of his life. He says the show is "two hours of intense adrenaline, physically and mentally." He thinks New York is good for his twins, who are almost four. He says his kids are going to school with kids from all over the world, so they're exposed to a lot. They come with him to the theater, but the show is too deep for them. However, Martin says they can sing the songs.
