JAE anagrams



Yes, I should be doing something else.  But as some may know, anagrams,
formed by rearranging the letters of a phrase, may give deep or even
heretofore unknown insight into a person when applied to his/her name.
What may we learn of John by studying the name:  John Alec Entwistle?

We are taken through a brief tour of John's performance career.  First, at
a tender age he contemplates powering The Who to the heights:

JET WHO?  INTENSE CALL.

I think we'd all agree.

Everyone knows that early in their career, John and Keith shared a jail
cell, but we now know that the jail was run by devout Jews (what were the
chances?), who refused to recognize other religions, and kept them apart:

NON-JEW?  ATHEIST CELL.

We get a glimpse of Jon's pre-show routine, which apparently includes
showering and brushing his teeth:

CLEANSE, WHITEN, (then go onstage and) JOLT

Following the thunderous climax of a show, John pulls the plug:

HALT JET.  NOW SILENCE.

Here's the inside look as his own evaluation of the night's show:

JOHN WENT CELESTIAL

Knowing his liking for black clothes, the following might have been heard
after a Who show:

WHENCE JET STALLION?  (presumably to the hotel after, suitably attended).

INJECT SWOLLEN HEAT  (oh my.)

But it's mostly one-night stands for John:

SHE'LL WANT EJECTION

We find that in his home life, John dislikes cows:

JOHNNIE SLEW CATTLE

and told the decorater to get rid of the cow-based yard art:

EJECT LAWN HOLSTEIN

This is the cream of what long hours of study reveal.  I hope it's been
interesting to all.  But if you found this offensive, or doubt the power of
the arcane art of logos, John apparently agrees:

OH WELL...ANCIENT JEST.
