It was *the* thing back in '81-'82.  I remember getting home from school,
turning MTV on, watching until dinner time, watching after dinner & up
until bedtime, & then going to school the next day to discuss the videos
with friends.  Magical times.  Loads of Who, too!

Whatever.  We're not getting anywhere with this argument.  We'll need to
take a poll.  Bend over.

Oh you've proven nothing.  You're guessing just like I'm guessing.

And just where are you getting *your* smelly information from?

That's what *all* big major rock concerts are costing these days!  If you
wanna see a show, you're gonna have to pay that kind of money.  You can't
say that that's gonna weed out the lesser fans.  It won't.

> The pre-music-only *did* have too much talking on it.

Aw, did all those big words confuse poor Kevin?  Poor baby doesn't like all
that talking.  Plot too hard for poor baby to follow.  Poor baby want to
hear just music.  Aw, poor baby gonna cry.....  

> I don't even *own* that version.

A HA!  Fair weather fan!

HO HO!  ;-p

I'm not gonna let you joke right over your incorrect assumption.  Plenty
of idiots go to Who shows.  Many idiots.  They fight.  They act like ass-
holes.  And they don't know or give a fuck who John Entwistle was.

> That's just Cleveland for ya.

OK.  You got me on that one.  ;-)

That's decadence on an intelligent level.  (?)

> Oh, but I did see you drinking a beer with your pinky up.

It's frozen that way from too many J's.

> I've got the damn Akronite cornered, and I..mean..BUSINESS!

Ha!  I'm able to breeze right through your shallow, fallacy-filled
"reasoning."

Uh, that would be John, the bass player in my band.  He attended Who shows
in 1989, 2000, & 2002.  Plus an Entwistle solo show.  He knows his OX.
He's not a "casual rock fan."  Nice try. 

> I know it hurts to be proven wrong.

You would.  How's it feel yet again?

> And, the WINNA....IS..........ME!

Hmmmm....sounds like something George W. might have said after the election.
