well  first off i must confess i am a lurker
but i just had to respond to this post -- growing up the kids i hung out with 
we lived quadrophenia ---- i can't tell you how many times these and other 
songs have got me through some tough times as an adolescent and an adult.  
whenever i am really upset or down about something i have to turn them on. my 
husband is the same as steve's wife--thinks i need to get a life--he did not 
grow up  where i did or when for that matter--he is 7 years younger---and so 
like a previous post--where are all my who freaks from yesteryear in 
massachusetts???????  i must say though at least i did get to meet john once 
at a small club in hartford ct.  got a photo and autograph.  i did tell him 
then "thanks for the music" so i am  glad about that.  as for the tour well, 
who's to say how people should handle grief.  I myself for one turn on quad.  
i did it when my grandfather died( he was my best friend) i did it when my 
cousin just died at 42 of a heart attack i did it when i had a fight with my 
mother, boyfriend, kids, husband etc.  its the music that always got me 
through and it seems to me that this list serves a purpose for all of those 
who have lost their who freaks of yesteryear-- oh yea tommy was influential 
in me becomming a special ed teacher and that was given to me by my 
grandfather who recognized a talented band when he saw on-------
thanks for letting me come out of the shadows
