You know, I think sometimes you think about this stuff too much...

Bill:

It's on MG - THE BEST OF also. Which has the ONLY remixed version of WGFA,
too (which makes it essential). The one on WN wasn't (as you can tell from
the static on the final scream).

Yeah, this pissed me off too. Especially since there ARE still tracks left
unreleased which could have been on either the box or the reissues. THAT
makes it a crime.

(Dare I? Yes, I think I do...)

Well, it seems to me he was talking about going from the 60's trippy
magical time when we thought we could do anything we could imagine,
including levitate the Pentagon (yes, they tried to do this in 1968), to
the harsh reality of the 80's (and baby, that reality was HARSH!). Or as I
used to say: Real life sets in...

BTW, Rob was the only one with more Who ads? And I was enjoying them so
much, too! Don't stop now!
