Strantely enough, tt wasn't until this morning that I remembered that CSI is a major marketing vehicle for The Who. Plus I think Roger Daltrey sang a bit of Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" at one point when he was driving around in his convertible. My son then pointed out that it made no sense that an Italian guy from Vegas had a British accent. My 13 year old son - who went through a Who phase a few years back - and would still probably like them if John Entwistle was alive (yes - I realize thats odd for a neophyte fan) was absolutely amazed that I figured out it was Daltrey about 5 seconds before he took off his mask (again in Scooby Doo fashion). The odd thing was they kept showing these flashbacks to the mobster when he was in his prime - and he was a skinny italian guy. Not Roger Daltrey - the real person - but Daltrey playing the part of Mickey Dunn. Towards the end of the show - it was revealed (in best Scooby Doo fashion) that the guy behind the mask was none other than Roger Daltrey - LOL !!!! ![]() and every time he killed someone - he was wearing a different disguise. The murderer kept wandering around killing guys who were in a photo.Īfter a while, it became clear that the murderer was a "master of disguise". ![]() Last nights show was some wierd story about a 70s era mobster - Mikey Dunn - and the mysterious disappearance of guys in his crew. I don't go out of my way to watch the show. I sometimes watch the show - but with the various different versions (CSI- Vega, CSI-Miami, CSI-NY) and re-runs on "cable" channels.
