Keets, you and I generally think alike (sorry if you are not comfortable with 
that).  Everyone deals with grief in different ways.  Some people mope and 
weep for long periods and others do it by working through it, doing what they 
love.  John was all about the music, so what better tribute to him than 
playing?  Did anyone ever think that this may not be entirely their choice?  
How much pressure do you think was on them to continue this tour in some form 
or fashion from promoters and sponsors who stand to lose tremendous sums if 
the tour was cancelled?  I hope this was of little concern, because if it was 
then Pete will be terrible (and who could blame him).  I think this decision 
also says a lot for zak and rabbit and whether they are who members or not.  
If they were not true members of the band, this tour would not continue.  The 
focus now falls on pete, rog, and zak.  Palladino and simon will stand far to 
the rear and let these 3 stars do their thing and work through john's 
absence.  The Who was never the same w/o keith, and will never be the same 
w/o john... but let's reserve judgement as to whether they can still be the 
who.
