They should keep going, if they want to.  I hate when people say there can be 
no more who now w/o john.  wasn't keith as big  part of the who and their 
sound as john?  maybe there is disagreement here, but certainly the band lost 
more of their live act when keith died than when john died.  true, the sound 
can never be the same w/o the Ox, but it isn't the same w/o keith, also... 
but everyone seems to love Zak and accept him.  If pete and roger say it's 
the who, then it IS the who, especially as long as they play like like they 
have the last 3 shows (i was at all of them).  Those raving about HB would be 
lost for words after Shoreline.  Greatest live show of ANY kind I have ever 
seen.  There CAN be a Who if pete and roger want it... and i hope to god they 
do as great as they sound right now.
