Re: jeff and Mc agreeing and Mark's Who thoughts

["L. Bird" <pkeets@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark's just refusing to move forward, though.  This would be the same thing 
as refusing to accept the band as The Who after Keith Moon died.  Look how 
much fun he would have missed if he'd quit being a fan in 1979.

If Mark wants to sit home and refuse to accept the new Who, that's fine.  
It's fine to have this viewpoint, but it's not okay to insist the band have 
this viewpoint, too.  Obviously it's not very productive for them, since 
they seem to want to continue with playing music.

I'm sure they're thinking that their estates can sell the old shows when 
they finally die-before-they-get-old, but since they're not at that point 
yet, they want to sell what they're doing now.  It's lots more fun than 
digging through old, dusty tapes.
