But they're hurting now and they need some way to channel that pain.  Pete 
tends to turn pain inward, which is dangerous, but Roger wants to hit 
somebody.  That's what the tour is about now.  Let him do it--it will make 
everybody feel better.

It's not.  Action is right for The Who just now.

Roger and Pete are now the living shareholders in The Who, but it still 
includes John and Keith.  They will never dissolve The Who Group Ltd. for 
this reason.  The Who will go on.
