        Has everyone seen "The History of Rock 'N Roll"?  There's a bit they
do on the Who (not enough, IMHO), and of course the focuses are on Monterey
and Woodstock.
        They compared the Woodstock performances of the Who and Jimi
Hendrix, and made a disturbing (I think) analogy.  I think it was Pete
recounted something he read, and it had said that comparing the two
spectacles was like comparing an erotic sacrifice (Hendrix) to a violent
rape (the Who).
        Is it me (for a moment) or is that an awfully disturbing comparison?
