I believe a few year's ago, Eric Clapton was all over the number one spots
with his "Unplugged" CD (which I didn't care for, personally, but was
nevertheless huge). Just because music happens to be popular doesn't
NECESSARILY mean it is bad, or "pop trash." The Who can make a new album
which rocks like a mother and show all these young punks what real hard rock
is from the original hard rock band. Throw in a nice Pete ballad or two, and
it certainly could take the world by storm. How bout the Who's first
Billboard #1? It could happen and I hope it does. There is an energy
surrounding the Who that seems to be heading for something special. Just
look at their last 2 live performances. Rave reviews from CFNY and some
great word of mouth from Portsmouth about the best single performance the
band has ever done. Somethin big is brewin, i tell ya.
