Pete's "joke"

>Pete made a joke at the '82 Toronto concert that nobody got (or gets).

Andy:

Oh, I understood it. I just didn't comment at the time. I think most did,
really.
But to put it simply: Pete was talking to the crowd, as usual. No penis
joke. "Actually, it's not hard at all." (playing Who, being the Rock star
the crowd demands from him) "What's hard is making it feel hard." (making it
real) And it was obvious that the crowd didn't hear or even understand what
he was trying to say. So he said, as if just now getting the message: "You
don't understand what I'm saying..." as the next song begins. Even the band
wasn't paying attention to him. It's sad, really. A sad moment.
