	I remember Keith Richard laying claim to that partial-windmill schtick
as the origins of Pete's trademark windmill.  I also remember Pete
saying that Richard couldn't even tone his guitar.... which is probably
true.

	Are you saying that trick photography skews Pete's attempts at
achieving Low Altitude Earth Orbit?  Money, it must be the shoes! <G>
	Personally, I've always been a bit chagrined that some wise-acre in
the World Wrestling Federation didn't emulate Townshend... you know
like, "Leaping Larry and his deadly windmill sleeper hold."  It would
certainly make those leaps off the top turnbuckle more dramatic!  (Big
Time Wrestling is, imho, a marvelous piece of kitschy Americana and the
last refuge of Vaudeville.)
	And I agree with you about the Who's music being 100% real.
	Every good wish--Tom Farrell
