I agree, Ernie.  Bottom line is Pete waited until after John
had died to make a new studio record.  Nineteen years
wasted (1983 - 2002) because Pete couldn't get his mental 
shit together.

Maybe we should make the anniversary of Entwistle's death
a celebration, because it freed The Master & provided him
the comfort to work on a studio project with Daltrey again.

Another bottom line is that the live shows & studio output
are weaker without Entwistle.  Pete may not want to allow
that fact into his swelled head....but it's true.

Who fans missed out on a bunch of fine musical dining be-
cause of Pete's schizophrenic fickleness.  Instead, we got
the warmed up Stouffer's frozen dinner that is ENDLESS 
WIRE.  Yippee.  Long live The Who.
