You agree with me.  I didn't mean that his drumming was bland- only that 
compared to Keith live, his ACT was bland and that gave critics ammo to 
attack the reformed Who in the early 80s.  I was simply offering a possible 
explanation for those who claim that the Who lost credibility in the early 
80s.  (did kenny perform w/them on the 89 tour?)
