keets Re: "The Who music has always had a sort of defiance in it.  For one
thing, they have their own strange, cock-eyed notions about what they're
going to do, and to to hell with whether it's conventional or not.  That
attitude comes through in their best music."

I like the defiance theme very much.  I would like to see them  mix the
simple old AAA idea together with the maturity of trying to be free in the
context of working and playing well with others.  Not unlike what the band
has been doing on this tour, and some of the stuff Pete has touched on in
his diaries.  Again,  I would love to see another opera or operetta but I
just don't see that happening.  The implied patience to create it and the
possible production costs to tour something like that are real deal killers
- IMHO.

I hope TKAA2K is some some sort of rough version of something to come.   The
new lines that Pete added are quite powerful, but the melody and backing
rhythms are incomplete.  I am not real hip to Roger's "lucky" ad lib, good
sound but not great poetry.

I was also listening to one of the early BBE demos Pete posted on his site. 
I was struck by how much he sounded like Art Garfunkel.  Did anyone else
hear that?
