Your dad plays guitar?  He may have seen it in a magazine, then.  Seems like 
there are regular articles on Pete.  Interesting to hear what causes a Who 
convert, especially at an advanced age.

So he knew it was there, eh?  Either somebody told him about it, or else 
he'd read about their performance.  :)

He really did in that performance.  It was the beard, I think.  :)

It's the same one Scott P. posted earlier--I mentioned how Robbins said the 
mood of the country had changed.

I think I've caught it.  Interestingly, Al-Jazeera seems to be getting all 
the votes for the best coverage just recently, and I caught their NY 
representative on C-Span last night talking about how they made decisions on 
what to air.  Do you suppose they'll get a Pulitzer?  ;)
