Roger



I haven't seen anybody respond to the Roger being used question.  I don't
recall Roger ever writing any songs for the group.  Other than PT deciding to
sing a few leads of his own every now and then, I don't really understand
what the beef would be.

Maybe PT makes more money because of writing royalties.  but, I would think
that RD ended up with a pretty good amount of spending money.  

PT has admitted to being jealous of RD in the past.  The Woodstock chest
thing, the girls always watched Roger etc..  I can't seem to grasp RD feeling
used and abused about anything. 

It's only a guess but I think the reason there was no Tommy on the last tour
(other than the tease) was because of RD's resentment of the Broadway
version.  I think a crowd response to PBW would have been huge during the
second set.

If anyone can tackle the RD question I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

    J. 
 
P.S.  Kenny Jones was a great drummer with the Faces.  I agree he had an
impossible job when he came into The Who.  Check out "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake"
a classic rock and roll album by the Small Faces.  Before RS.
