Keith got mentioned in "Virginia" too...well, okay, "It's In You",
but that song will always be "Virginia" to me! I don't care what it
says on the new "Face Dances"! And I know some people have
interpreted "Somebody Saved Me" to involve Keith...not an
interpretation I personally agree with, but a valid one all the same.
But you're right, the Who never did release any song just for Keith's
memory. I think it's probably because of what I said before, they
wouldn't want to cheapen something like that by making it their next
single. It would just look like a sleazy way to cash in on tragedy,
sort of the musical version of those disaster movies-of-the-week on
television.
