What's The Who level then??? Someplace no other band has ever gone before?

Young Man Blues isn't a Who song, it's a Mose Allison song. I would rather 
refer to the writer of the song. Like I think "When I was a boy" is a JAE song.

And why is that? Because he is the big name. He is the greatest bass 
player, but IMO, the others are great in their own way. Having seen them on 
the last tour, I feel more that they play to each other then just to 
Entwistle. And in a way Entwistle acts as being "just the bass player" of 
the band.

Sure. But I like what I like. You like what you like. So what's the point 
of a discussion?

I LOVE MAD DOG! Above my dorm room door it says "Cell No. 7". :-)

To be honest, I just like the nice girl-next-door kinda type, instead of 
the slutty supermodels. But you can fuck who-ever you want to. :-)
