I love this attitude!  Maybe The Who should stop thinking so much and just 
start ROCKING. They don't need to tell anybody about it until something good 
gets recorded. I mean, it IS what they do, isn't it? I'm just dieing to hear 
Zak cut loose. He's paid his dues with the band and is their man, so how 
about that incredible garage band imitation of Keith that is so unbeatable 
being recorded with the band?!  I would LOVE to hear them record something 
like that to what ever it is that Pete feels like getting across at the 
moment. I heard the riffs that Pete is playing with (I like the "C" set), so 
how about doing them LOUDLY with The Who so that they will have an impact and 
better yet,-SELL?.  


My kids love The Who. (They are 10,12 and14) My wife's boy loves The Who. He 
is 17 and is into Korn etc. and all the hip hop stuff. They all have radar 
for what's in, as well as good music, and all 6 of our kids agree that The 
Who rules. After watching the Who "legends" video, as they were playing long 
live rock, Nick the 17 yr old just shook his head and said "I wish I was born 
back then". It's also funny, because they all agree that the best was with 
Keith, not because of the zany stuff but on the beauty and strength of the 
music. It just holds up so well. What a unique band.
