I wrote NOTHING about TheWho-> being a "Man's Band!"

Having never *done* a hooker, I cannot respond accordingly, but,
Roger does portray on record and onstage the *angry male* side
of Pete's music...

(best portrayed on "However Much I BOoze" IMHO)

while Pete...he sits looking 'round, he sees
his face in the mirror, he knows he's worth nothing...

Well, my daughters would disagree wholeheartedly here, they
want their asses kicked hard, (real hard) by their music,
and let *dad* be the sensitive one who-> loves Pete so dearly.

Does THAT make AEB a female?

Am *I*, AEB, a Who-> expert?

Yes, I am THE Who-> expert...just ask me!
