Mark,

Me too...maybe it's his flannel shirt and workboot look.

I can, sort of, see the LZ side to PJ. I agree with your statement, the song 
structure and lyrical content are definite indicators of WHO / Townshend 
influence.
>From an article I've read with Eddie Vedder, he stated that TOMMY was also an 
influence on his song writing. He went as far as saying that three songs, one 
each from three different albums (can't remember which three at the moment, 
sorry) formed a sort of mini-rock opera. I do believe that JEREMY was one of the 
three.

>Herman's Hermits: Mrs. Brown etc./I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am

Goof on me all you want, but "I'M HENRY THE EIGHTH, I AM" was one of the first 
songs I ever sang as a kid. And, don't laugh, I even went out and bought the 
Greatest Hits album. BTW, one of my other favorite songs as a kid was DOORS 
"LIGHT MY FIRE" (There is hope <g>)
