I'm 40, not 50, and the biggest surprise to me is that I didn't outgrow
The Who. There is a richness of meaning and passion there that sticks with you at any age (or sex or race). Led Zep I privately enjoy although,
since they're on the radio every four seconds, I never feel the need to
listen to them at home. But unless you're a guitarist, why indeed would
you ever listen to Zep with the intensity you would listen to The Who?
They're for fun; The Who are both fun and serious.
