Trying To Keep It Together
Hey all,
I haven't been posting much lately. I guess Entwistle's death fucked me up
more than I thought it did. I've been in a big-time funk.
It's only the past couple days that I've been able to listen to The Who with
any sense of enjoyment. I made a neat 90-minute, all-Entwistle Who tape
that I've been jamming lately. That helped a lot.
On the tape, I tried to include any song that The OX had a hand in writing.
The only song that didn't meet that criteria was "We Close Tonight" from the
ODDS & SODS reissue. But that one just *sounds* like an OX song, what
with him & Moonie sharing the vocals, & those cascading & rising little bass
solo parts. Townshend wrote that? (I know - the "Who In Their Own
Words" book confirms it - or should that quote have been credited to OX?
And a crediting mistake on the liner notes to ODDS & SODS wouldn't sur-
prise me. OK, I'm reaching, but it begs the question: What ever happened
to the tune OX wrote that he claimed summed up all of QUADROPHENIA
in one song?)
I left off "Trick Of The Light" because....well.....I don't like the song! I did,
however, include "One At A Time" from IT'S HARD which is starting to grow
on me (near my right foot & spreading upwards).
Anyway, I'm getting psyched for the next leg of the tour! I'll be meeting up
with Kevin from VT & we'll be hitting the first three shows.
Plus - partying with other Who freaks!! Just what the "doctor, doctor" or-
dered!!
Let the countdown begin!
LONG LIVE THE WHO!!
