Well, in a way, but the way is a bit abstract.  See, the other songs on
WBN are (lyrically speaking) _intelligent_.  "Squeeze Box" is _stupid_.
It's insultingly stupid, gauche.  (Pete himself said as much:  aplogizing
for ragging on McCartney for "Ebony and Ivory," he added, "After all, the
Who were guilty of recording 'Squeeze Box.'"


>That live version must be Something.

Oh, yes.  I recommend a bootleg called RAW if you can get it.
