As a wise man once wrote, You Are Forgiven.

We'll chalk it up to your youth...If you've never seen Roger live, on
stage, it's even more intense.  I'd been a Pete worshipper from day one. 
Peeete, Peeete, Peete, give me those sad blue eyes and that big nose any
day.  Watching TKAA w/ my college roommate, I couldn't understand why she
was drooling over Roger in that fringe thing. I thought "He's attractive,
but nothing special."  Then I saw him onstage.  Under A Raging Moon tour,
Dec 1985.  OhmyGod.  All I can tell you, Yellow Ledbetter, is he is one
incredibly sexy guy.  I don't care how old.  That voice, that look, the
power he projects...

I forgot all about that until Live Aid.  Sweating, hungover at Wembley,
dying to see the Who...I didn't think anything would make me take my eyes
off Pete, but there was Rog again.... Same thing happened on the 89 tour, 
the DST tour, etc. etc.  I can ignore him on video, but not in person...


And I won't even comment on what you say about Pete singing like a girl!
Blasphemy!

Have you ever watched a nationally-televised sporting event?  Then you've 
heard Gary Glitter.  

Sorry for the hormone-induced message.  I'm rarely so, well, blatant.  
But someone on the female side had to set the record straight.
