'Cause I too like to share.......

I was thrown out of my house.
My Girlfriend and I had broken up.
I was alone and had no direction, and was getting sucked deeper and deeper
into depression by the depressing sounds of Pink Floyd The Wall.
My best friend Stu handed me Quadrophenia like a prescription.  I can
remember the day clearly and his words....."here, listen to this".  I can
see the CD hitting my hand, and remember thinking that the black cover was
kind of strange.
When I listened, it felt like all the pieces of the puzzle came together.  I
wasn't some sort of freak.  I wasn't alone.
That's when my deep Who interest turned into a loyal devotion.

Ouch.
I trust you have since obtained audio and video boots.
