You've made a strong case but I still think I'm right!

And that's why we love you.  Hey, at least you got us talking about The Who
again.

Right!

Jim,

I think the point Scott is addressing is what he brought up about the Who's 
popularity and pull in general society vs. that of say, the Stones.  Today
the 
Stones still have much of it and the Who doesn't have nearly what they used
to 
have.  There are no Who blimps over my house in 2004.  No Who commercials
on 
tv.

So what Scott is bugged by I believe, is, why is this the case?  I think the

main reason is because of no new product.  The reason for this was because 
Pete's solo career took first place away from the Who in Pete's mind.  Since
it 
was Ronnie Laine that encouraged him to get away from writing Who songs and
put 
out the solo stuff, we can put the blame firmly on The Faces for the 
destruction of the Who.  They even sent their drummer to do an inside job.
It was a 
planned conspiracy! No wonder Roger didn't like Kenney.

Jon in Mi.
