Re: Who2

[Steve <seeker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve here in spring like BC interior.

Funny this name thing - remember the days of "TED", then the slow evolution 
back to The Who?

The music is the same. The name...the band.

As discussed earlier, many times, when does a name no longer fit? 75% of 
the members? 50% of the members? 25% of the members, or 0%  but the music 
is the same.

ie;  5 years from now, same set list (plus the new album stuff), with Zak, 
Pino, Rabbitt, Simon, and a supporting singer and guitar player or two....

Smile as you contemplate this.
