I don't believe it could be stated better.

Flibbity-floo!"

Whoever wrote that, I just want to make it clear that no one ever said
"Flippity-floo" in the `60's. Actually, I'm sure I've never heard ANYONE say
it. Dippity Do, sure, even Roger said that.

Kevin:

I figured that since you've chosen that lifestyle, the violence inherent in
Who music (and I'd be the last one to deny it exists there) might be what
touches you and makes you a fan.

> yes, you can call me "Dubya" when you do it.

Tempting...but I don't intend to hit anything but a one hitter in the near
future. Oh, shit, I won't be able to get that through airport security, will
I? DAMN! Maybe I should drive after all.

Scott:

HEY! I was HAPPY to see Paul stepping in with a note...I'd like to see more
of it.

Kevin:

Well, one of my problems with the band's music is that synths seemed to play
an increasing role in Who songs from WN onward. Works in Quad, sure, but
after that it's like there's more keyboards and less guitar. I'll take the
guitar. I'd be happy with NO synths at ALL, just perhaps a little Bluesy
organ from Rabbit.

I think these two are a given.

Keets:

APPARENTLY, they're selling quite well!
