Chicago Questions

Sat Sep 16 08:29:38 CDT 2006

I was blown away with how well Roger sang "MIAPD".  I agree, I don't  
like Pete's look...it made him look much older, IMO.
Anyway, is anyone on the list going to the HOB show on the 28th? Any  
pre-show gathering?  Is it still on for the Beer Bistro for the pre- 
show on the 25th and is anyone going to try to hit Rachel's Barnes &  
Noble show at 7:00 and then go to the concert? I know....lots of  
questions, but I'm really looking forward to the shows!

> THE WHO rocker PETE TOWNSHEND was left red-faced when
> he mistakenly included DORIS DAY in a song about dead
> celebrities.
>
> The reclusive actress/singer is alive and well aged
> 82, but it is too late for Townshend to change new
> song MIRROR DOOR, which has already been pressed on
> copies of The Who's first studio album since 1984.
> He says, "I was absolutely convinced she was dead but
> then I went to the internet and there she was, with a
> happening website." The song's lyrics feature dead
> stars including Day, ELVIS PRESLEY and BUDDY HOLLY,
> discussing their careers.
