Good point, but it was after *"My Generation"* broke that Roger
was "pulled back into the fray."
> So, you may be right. Tommy was definitely the key.
Well, they always say in interviews that it was a last ditch effort.
After some initial success with the early singles in the mid-60's
they reached a dry spell around '68 with their weirder stuff like
"Dogs" & "Magic Bus." I guess even their fee for performing had
dropped considerably, also. Plus (big plus), they were steeped in
debt & the creditors were banging on the door.

I'm known for that. The Who are #1 & The Doors are #2 in my book.
