The Kids are Alright

VH1 is presenting the latest installment of its Rock Honors series tonight at 8 p.m. This time around it’s British rock giants The Who.

Scheduled to perform, in addition the band itself, are: Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Tenacious D and Incubus.

The network aired a fascinating, two-hour documentary on The Who last night. I’m expecting a really good show tonight to honor one of the all-time great bands. Check it out.

Young Makes Rehab Start at Lake Elsinore

Former Highland Park pitcher Chris Young is close to returning to the mound for the San Diego Padres after suffering a broken nose during a game on May 21.

Young, who took a line drive off the bat of St. Louis’ Albert Pujols, made his first rehab start Wednesday night for the Lake Elsinore Storm. He went 3 2/3 innings. Young hopes to return to the majors by the end of the month.
