Dutch Memorial Meeting / Toronto

[Bjorn Ciggaar <ciggaar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

About ten people gathered in a bar in Utrecht yesterday ("Stairway to 
Heaven") to reminisc John. It was very good for me to be able to talk again 
in a crowd of people that don't talk about anything else but The Who. This 
is WHO-family where you can share your stuff with. Nobody else really can 
grab our emotions about this... He was not "just a guy in a band". He was 
our hero and a super-duper-star.
Some people I saw for the first time. It was great meeting them and just 
sharing our feelings (and kill a few brain cells).

They played John's songs, and we shared stories we had. Some great stories. 
I just am really glad I had all these adventures with The Who, and sad that 
that probably will be over now... But like Pete said at the beginning of 
Lifehouse;

"And as ever, the sun rises..."

Unfortunatly, I found out I won't be possible to make it to the Dallas show 
after all (of the little obligations I always have). So who's going to go 
with me to the very last concert at Toronto? I'll try and see if I'll be 
able to make it to that one (probably am able to)... This might be a 
farewell that might really be the end of The Who.

I'm still sad and upset... But respect The Who for whatever they do. John 
had my unconditional love, and so do Pete and Roger. What we also said 
yesterday, whatever choice they make to continue the tour or cancel the 
tour, they're gonna get shit either way. And aslike Roger said, the music 
can lift me out of my sadness.

Love,

Bjorn
