tired subject

[bebell <bebell@bc.edu>]

please...
please...
please...
i have been on this list for 3 or 4 years and i dont think i can stand
another thread on Pete's sexuality.  I have been listening to the Who and Pete
since I was born and the impact Townshend's work has had upon my life is
immeasurable.  I truely enjoy reading everyone's thoughts and opinions about the
Who on this list and it sure is nice to know that their are other Who fans out
there...
but I am just tired of this subject.

I realize a lot of people may come and go on this list
and that many have not witnessed logging on to their computer and finding
25 messages debating whether Pete Townshend is gay or straight.  I really like
this
list but this topic just seems as tired and unimportant as it did in 1989 and
before that
with Empty Glass.  I may be a minority on the list but I believe this list is the
place
for discussions about The Who's creative output, artistry and force.

And since I opened my big mouth...does any one have a tape of the Townshend
show from this past summer in Boston for trading?
