Biting the Bullet
My earliest Who awareness came when siging along to Pinball Wizard with my old brother and I kept singsing "Sure play a mean guitar" My brother chastised me and that was that for a while. Then when I was about 14, (I just turned 19)for some reason, I bought Who's Next through a music service. I remember listening to it everyday about 3 times a day. My dad, a who fan but not lover, kept complimenting me on finally buying a good album but told me to stop playing it so damn much. I didnt listen. I continued to play it. One day when a friend was over, he told me, contrary to my belief, that Who's Next was not a greatest hits album. That blew me away. I figured if a single album is this good, then my God, what are the rest like. Over the next few years, I found out by buying every album. And much to my pleasure it was all capped off by the announcement of the Quad shows. Long live The Who
