Actually it was quite a bit more obscene than that, and deftly bleeped to 
play on TV.  :)

Well, okay.  "Eminence Front" and "A Man is a Man," too.

Hey, I'm serious.  Most of IT'S HARD sounds half-baked to me, but these 
three recording make the whole traumatic post-Moon effort worthwhile.  
They're some of the best work The Who ever did.

Also, I think they're sure signs that The Who could follow Pete in the 
direction he wanted to go.  So was the problem that fans rejected the new 
sound?  EF and OLEFM both lean heavily to jazz, and it was strange to Whofan 
ears.  In this same vein, I hope everybody's prepared for what Pete might 
write now.  The Manchester "Crossroads Now" featured the same structure as 
the orchestral doodlings Pete has been fooling with just recently.  Just 
love The Who's interpretation, though.  ;)
