Re: A new Generation of Swine will Doom Who Album Sales

I hate to say it but Its partially true.  I had a group of friends who were
into the who and even went to the atlanta show last year. But the interest
didnt last.  They turned 21 around the same time and their libidos took
over.  Now i cant even mention "The Who" or classic rock music.  If its not
a girl ( teenybopper ) friendly  or as Pete puts it Nu-metal type band, it
is a bad influence on their quest for coolness and getting girls to think
their "with it.", or better yet a way to make girls think their "the face"
so to speak.
But thankfully the early twenties fever passes and maturity takes over.
Most of the people who listen to extremly modern music in the charts dont
listen to it for very long.  And the who will still be there.
The new album will exist for those who are interested in MUSIC and the
Creative thought process not Fashion, dancing or drugs, but real
storytelling.  Fear not the who will make music and sell records as long as
mature intelligent people (who had a childhood) live in this world.
