WHO are these drummers?




Simon Philips is the illegitimate son of Paul Simon and Michelle
Philips.  His birth led directly to the breakup of The Mamas and the
Papas, and Simon & Garfunkel.  He has been in therapy most of his adult
life because of an overwhelming sense of guilt.  In order to rescue him
from a possible lifetime of heroin addiction, Pete Townshend generously
tried to give him as much work as possible.  Hence, the 1989 gig.

My website will soon be up and running, and will feature many such
insider tidbits, including the fact that the film "This Is Spinal Tap"
was loosely based on The WHO and their exploding drummers.
