Straightmen always need a foil, Martin had Lewis, Abbott had Costello and I 
have Kevin. :)

I don't because this list and O&S are populated by a lot of shiny happy Who 
fans full of hopes and dreams for it is all new or those of you clinging on 
to what you know is gone .  I don't want to rain on their parade.  I was 
there 20 years ago,  raving about some recent show or LP (how many can 
remember buying a new studio recording by the band?) only to have some old 
cermudgeon (at my age now!) say "It ain't The Who, Moon's dead."  Now it's 
me saying "It ain't The Who, Moon AND The Ox are dead."

I post more on lists and forums that have a narrow focus on the band.

Unfortunately, in a lottery the odds are stacked against you.
