"I'll bet Pete has always blamed The Who for subverting his life.  It's not 
something he'd really planned on--just this little temporary band thatbecame 
a huge monster that ate all his time and energy, and where eventually he 
couldn't seem to please anybody."

And he has been trying to come to grips with this all along.  Could it be 
that putting up and taking down that sarcastic 'Rockery' diary post around 
Christmas is part of the ongoing struggle?  I think maybe.

More guessing:  He tossed out some zingeres at The Who on the eve of making 
some committments to Who activity in 2002.  He thought about it after 
speaking to some friends, associates, and/or a shrink.  He took it down.  
He's still struggling with his place in The Who and being true to his 
artistic sensibilities.  He has not found (what I call) his inner cool guy.

The inner cool guy is the guy males try to become from an early age.  
Quadrophenia is about finding one's inner cool guy.

Is Pete's inner cool guy Bob Dylan, Baba, Picasso, Roger Daltrey, or someone 
else?
