I think we're all very lucky that Pete has made up with ED, and is not, at 
this very minute, busily writing away on a solo Broadway career.  It's sort 
of his new toy, and if he's excited about it, then great.  It may actually 
have a lot to do with this current Who revival, as Pete may be using The Who 
to work out and promote his Broadway ideas, but who cares about his motives? 
  It works.

Nah.  Roger wants to sing.  Well okay, maybe he could stand writing another 
song or two for The Who, but heaven forbid that he has to sit there and 
listen to all that old music.  ;)

Plus various mp3 singles, currently available as promotional give-aways from 
Pete.

Someone posted here recently that MCA had blocked certain releases of old 
material that TED had proposed.  This kind of circumstance makes the 
bitching pretty senseless.

Maybe it should be directed at MCA instead of TED.
