OX probably didn't want to answer the question, that's all.  Daltrey likes to
use the press to kinda push Pete's buttons so-to-speak.  Sometimes works,
sometimes doesn't.

This got me to thinking that THE WHO have been a band who have had a
weird kind of reciprocal relationship with the press.  Roger, & more often
Pete, will *use* the press to flush out ideas.  Like in 1968 when Pete was
still grappling with the TOMMY concept, he gave a long, detailed interview
to Rolling Stone magazine about the forthcoming album.  He admitted later
that some of his answers were made up on the spot, but he also said that 
*that* interview helped cement a lot of TOMMY's concepts for him.

And don't forget the Great Feud of 1975 between Daltrey & Townshend, in
which their only communication (barbs & insults!) was *through* the press,
giving interviews to eager reporters pining to write about the "horrible, feuding
WHO."

John?  He's the quiet one.  

Wait a minute.....he's not quiet, etc., etc.........
