Re: [petetownshend] Re: Unpllug the oldies - for good



Well, okay, I'll take back any dissing of CHRONICLES.  It may very well
be a great accomplishment.  I'm still grumbling because I didn't like
the music with the play.  It was a very dark, broody play, kind of
scary, cuttingly ironic.  "Gateway Remix" (the rap Who Are You) suited
it very well, but all that lovely, idealistic 60's music didn't.
