As much as I would like to argue with Bernd (because he snubbed me at 
the Milwaukee preshow and darned if that didn't toast my Pop Tarts), 
he is correct.  Here is a relevant quote from when John appeared as a 
guest in Prodigy's weekly Who chat shortly before the US summer of 
'97 tour:

How come they don't let u sing anymore?

John Entwistle (Speaker)
Kithfan -- Cause I haven't offered, I guess. I don't like doing
backing vocals, esp. with the Who because everyone else is too
loud for the monitors. And I can't be bothered to keep my voice
in trim just for one or two songs.

So there you have it, straight from the Ox's mouth!

>"Pete's gay!"

He has seemed happier as of late, hasn't he?  Probably that book deal 
he closed with Little Brown.
