Tendin' bar in The Outerbanks of North Carolina so as to make enough money

Thanks for bringing *that* up.  Just when I was finally getting over my
grief of having to miss that tour.  Have to admit, Quad(s) and Tour2000 did
wonders for my pain.

Man, you and Keets are stuck in the past.  I do recall Pete saying he
"can't".  But you interpret that as "I intellectually can't"?  This is also
a quote that pre-dates Pete stating that he realizes that his (also not
quoting Pete) artistic outlet is now through The Who.  How is his artistic
outlet going to be through The Who if he "can't"
(physically,emotionally,artistically) write for The Who?  
A question that's been bugging me for some time now....

Eh??  "You say she's a virgin, well I'm gonna be the first in.  Her
brother's gonna kill me, Ooooooooooo fuckin' will he!  I'll take on anyone,
aint scared of a bloody nose. Drink till I drop (?) down, with one eye on my
clo-oths!".  
That's John?!?!??  
Are you certain????  
I've *always* pictured Rog singing that (and other lines).  
In fact, I can recall Rog singing it in the 96 and 97 tour.
I'm confused now.

No.  Not too into his solo stuff.  But, if it proves my point, Thanks!

Ok dude.  I've got to ask.  And, don't get the nickers all in a twist.  But,
how do you show up to work with a swollen face?  What do you tell your
students?
This sounds like something out of an old time Irish movie or something. 

>I did not make this post <motivated to make IGTC safe>

Yes. We know. Um, that would be me.

I think that's a safe assumption.

Yep. Interesting concept eh?  Autobiography that stops half way through, and
then goes into a multi-media extravaganza!...and *then* back to his
autobiography!
Hmmmm, has *Pete* been smoking bowls??
I like, I like.

Yeah, is he really serious with that denial???

Yes, and a pickin' we will go. (no nose jokes please).
In the mean time, give me the hamma!

That's my thinking.  He tortures himself in a dark room with candles.

Either some experience, or a bottle.  ;-)
