Jim,
At the time, I guess you could say I was in my own little Who
world, meaning that I did not have a resource such as this list or
anything on the internet where I could hear other people's thoughts
about The Who. All of my knowledge was confined to Richard Barnes
and Dave Marsh's books. Anyway, that day I heard a quote by Justin
Hayward (Moody Blues) saying that he thought the problem with rock &
roll was that more groups were not trying to do any "concept" albums.
That they were only going for an album of singles. I pretty much
told Pete the quote and asked him what he thought about it. I can't
remember Pete's exact answer, but it was one of those answers where
he tends to talk over everybody else's head. At the time I was not
searching for a great question, I just wanted the opportunity to talk
to Pete.
About a year earlier, I talked to Roger on the same show. I
guess I am a lucky dialer. I asked him whether he liked to tour with
The Who as just a four member band or with the entire entourage that
they had on the '89 tour. To my amazement, he said he liked the '89
setup better. I don't remember his reasoning, but I'll check my
tapes and get back to anybody if they're interested. Well I've typed
enough.
