Ian, I always understood that "Helter Skelter" wasn't written in response to a particular Who song, but to The Who's claim as "loudest band in the world". I must admit, I've never heard The Who claim that title. They held the Guinness book record for the '74 Charlton gig (I think) for a while, but obviously "Helter Skelter" is 6 years (or so) earlier. -- Owen
