Keets, I wasn't implying that Pete should forget his solo projects.  I didn't 
even imply it.  My comment was in regard to him NOT working with the Who ever 
again.  I mean let's face it, Psycho D and White City, etc are very good, but 
don't hold a candle to Tommy and Quad.  Pete's best rock music has come 
through the Who, and I think he acknowledges that now, which is one of the 
reasons his performances this year have been so inspired.  That's my only 
point.
