Deni:

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. "Use it or lose it." So one could make a
very good argument that Pete should write Who songs for his own mental
health.

Brian:

I know the odds of you being wrong are less than those of Bush making a
complete coherent sentence, but I do recall Pete giving up drugs for Baba
"but having a problem giving up Pot." That would certainly be during the
1968 period.

I don't know the logistics of the matter for you (or anyone else interested
in getting a correct copy), but the laserdisc version of TKAA is complete
and not sped up. A friend made me a copy several years ago. If the movie is
copied to be traded, it's best done from a perfect source like
this...because videotape has a limited lifespan, and that amount of extra
use would kill it.
So if you can find a copy and a laserdisc player (the latter shouldn't be a
problem; they're fairly common in Pawn shops)...
