Is It Who or How? What’s the Issue?
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Mayor Sophie Masloff was confused Thursday as to who is coming to town for a rock concert this summer.
Masloff, 71, who recently called the Grateful Dead the “Dreadful Dead†and the group’s fans “Deadenders,†asked Three Rivers Stadium officials about an upcoming concert by “The How.â€
“Not The How, The Who,†said George Whitmer, the stadium authority’s chairman.
“The who?†Masloff asked.
“Yes,†Whitmer replied.
“Is there a Who group and a How group?†Masloff asked. “Somebody asked me the other day if The How was coming here.â€
“What the hell is The How?†said state Sen. Eugene Scanlon, who, like Masloff, is an authority member.
“There isn’t a group called The How as far as I know,†said Gerald Baron of Spectacor Management, which runs the stadium.
