The kids may be alright, but not to write for

Keets:

Were they withdrawn, or never considered? The end result wasn't a musical,
so it's not like they decided against them for other, perhaps more
commercials songs.

What modern sound do you mean? This old fan heard The Who as they were LAL
era plus a keyboard (hardly modern). To me, they sounded more modern with WN
or Quad than on this last tour. And someone complained???

I can't see it...The Who were never about children, with the possible
exception of some of their weaker songs like Happy Jack. But more than
anything else, lyrically and musically, they were about tension, frustration
and unresolved anger.
