Why no Lifehouse?



Haven't the Quad shows been incredible? I was fortunate to be able to fly up to
New York to catch one of the Madison Square Garden shows, and I don't know for
the life of me why the Who is avoiding my little town of Atlanta along with its
respective quadrant of the country like it was the plague. Pete's solo of
"Drowned" is yet another indication of how he would obviously be reckognized as
one of the greastest of great guitarists if only he himself would give himself
some more credit.

But anyways, does anyone out there no why Pete is being so slow to jump on the
Metropolitan Opera Company's offer to help him reconstruct- and perhaps
embellish (as with the Broadway Tommy)- the great Lifehouse? I would at first
suspect that he is actually opposed to the idea as he had said in the past, but
in a semi-recent interview, Pete indicated that he had been considering the
idea for quite a while now. Why so slow to act?

If Pete does get around to reconstructing Lifehouse, I wonder if the Who (or
at least Pete) will be involved in the performance of it. Wouldn't it be cool
if Pete decided to go with his original idea of taking a captive audience and
locking them in with the ensemble for a number of weeks/months? Hm... Then
again, such an attempt could be downright cheesy. Oh well. Does anybody out
there have any knowledge of or interesting speculation upon the subject?
