Young Who Fans



This is to everyone that says,"Oh, I'm 19 or something, I listen to the
Who,". Well, Check this out. Ready? I, Andrew Thompson of Kansas City,
Missouri, am of fifteen years of age, YES! That's right folks, he said he
was FIFTEEN! I've been listening to the WHO since I was about 11, I think.
That was around the time when I looted through my parents old records(Isn't
that how it always works?). I listened mainly to my mom's Led Zep and
Beatles albums (I stayed away from my dad's stuff because he was a Dead
Head, and I just didn't understand it). Then I listened to the few Who
albums my mom had (Live at Leeds, My Generation/Magic Bus, and Who Are You)
and set them aside, for it was an odd assortment of stuff. Then I saw on VH1
two Who videos side by side. They were a live version of Baba O'Riley, and
the cover of "Saturday is Alright(For Fighting)". And just was blown away, I
was like, Oh! THAT'S the Who, and started listening to the records much more
often. In the past few years I've been able to scrape up a more complete
assortment of albums (I still haven't bought "Quadrophenia", yet). But being
of my age, I am still incapable of being a true diehard fan, since I don't
have a job, don't have a car, and I haven't seen them live, in person. But
Hey,"I can go ANYWHERE (Where I choose), I can live ANYHOW (Win or loose)..."

P.S. Also for those interested (If I haven't already said so) Rog is also
going to be the bad guy in the final episode of "Lois and Clark" sometime in
May, I think.
P.P.S. It's true though, what Vincent Favia said earlier, Most young people
do not listen to the Who (idiots), and some of my friends (Jokingly, I hope)
call me weird because I love the Who and think that Frank Zappa is a lyrical
genius.
P.P.P.S. I'm done now.
