IAN:

I saw the Mike Watt band (w/Vedder, Grohl & Smear) in NYC about a year 
ago. Was a good show, Vedder did on knee tuck on one song (there's THEWHO 
related material for this post). Not being familiar with their material, 
I can't give a fair review.... Foo Fighters was one of the opening acts, 
Grohl was a friggin' madman onstage.....

I'd love to see B&B comment on a Who video sometime.....Uhhhhh, its like 
these guys like, smash their equipment, because, like the guitarist is 
like pissed off that he has a really bif schnoz.....YEA YEA!!! Break it, 
smash it!!!! COOL!!!!!!!!!!
