I'm not Don Knotts, but this raises a good question--the vast majority of
bonus tracks we've received in the past two years have been Pete's
compositions, but does anyone have other information about unreleased
Entwistle songs? I wish I could recall which Who book I was flipping through
within the past year that contained a mention of a song written by John,
maybe around 1975, that never surfaced on a Who or solo LP.
Also, for the benefit of Fang, I inserted a euphemism for "Dave Marsh" in the
first line above. Perhaps when the "I'm not _ _ _ but... " theme begins to
fade, many of us can offer other pseudonyms for Dave.
