I wish he'd publish some poetry books.  Think what he might have squirreled 
away in his closet.


>You know I agree with you on your love of the 2000 TKAA2K and
Crossroads jams.  TKAA2K is lyrically well-developed, while Crossroads is 
musically well-developed.  The inverse is true as well:  TKAA2K in musically 
under-developed and Crossroads is lyrically under-developed.  They also 
suggest the themes that are likely to occupy any new Who work.

Since you've read the rest of the discussion by now, I guess you've got my 
views on the lyrics.  I don't know that TKAA2K is quite lyrically 
well-developed as yet, but that mp3 that Pete put up was the real thing.  It 
was channeled archetype and it hit a lot of people where it hurt.  He did it 
(as he always does his best work) on the fly, so he didn't have any music to 
go with it except the improv that was going on at the time.

As for the Manchester "Crossroads Now," I'm sure that wasn't a jam.  You 
could hear snippets of it developing in earlier shows, but they'd rehearsed 
that one.  It really is great to have been to more than one show last 
summer, and to have some mp3s and tapes and whatnot to follow the 
development.  It's maybe something that fans wouldn't have been able to do 
in years past.
