Who intro






1975. My friend's uncle, a dedicated hippie who was deeply intro spacy 
prog-rock (Faust, Floyd, Can, Hawkwind, Eloy) and had a monster stereo 
setup in the garage, was out in the yard working on his garden and 
getting tired of us hanging around and bugging him while he tended to his 
tomatoes and carrots (all organic, of course). He told us to stay out of 
his way for a while, sat us down in the garage, and turned on the stereo.
"Siddown and listen. Make sure you turn it over in the right order."

We sat there and had our little fourteen year old heads blown wide open 
by listening to QUADROPHENIA. Straight through. Very loud. 

And we've never been the same since.

We never laughed at his musical choices again.
