In June of 1971, English rock band The Who released a hit single called “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” In the wake of the tumultuous 1960s, lead singer Roger Daltrey lamented the failures of revolution, crooning over Pete Townshend’s guitar outro: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”
I’m not sure if Tony Bennett is a punk rock fan (and Googling “Tony Bennett music” isn’t exactly going to help). But, if so, he can borrow a line from Daltrey when he introduces this Virginia Cavaliers squad to the fans at John Paul Jones Arena during the blue-white scrimmage next fall: Meet the new team, same as the old team.
