        No kidding.  A really nice thing about the Who is the very fact that
they wrote... well, alternative (not in the modern sense) love songs!

        That was going to be my point - especially the nauseating part.  But
I never get sick of listening to "Tattoo"....

        We know it's going to be all of Quadrophenia - I can forward you
some reviews of the European shows, in which the show started with Quad, ran
through it in its entirety, and finished with a few hits.  And it's an
*excellent* show!  (Well, I loved it - everyone always loved their first Who
concert.)
        They won't switch the whole thing to a night of hits halfway through
the tour.

        And Luke!  I was going to yardsales yesterday morning, and I should
have picked up a couple of Styx 8-tracks that one guy had.  You could've
brought them with you to get signed!  ;)
