Jon:

Yeah, it's amazing that with only a (relatively) few books about The Who in 
the first place, one gets out that's so rife with misinformation.

Kevin Mc:

Actually, it's NOT semantics but the actual word. Semantically, "socket" will 
never mean "fixture."
It's the writer in me...speaking of which, this is what I get for being in a 
hurry and relying on the spellcheck:

Mind expounding on that? That's most unexpected.

You don't find them hypocritical? That's odd...I was told they were...but I'm 
sure you get the message...

A Who fan. A punk who came before Punk. So I look like a hippie (I guess), 
about the right age, do care about people and the environment, but am more 
technological in my thinking than what I normally think of as a "hippie."

They still are.

Keets:

Oh, it wasn't bizarre enough...now his mother used him to get men? What kind 
of man is attracted to a young boy and then has sex with the kid's mother? 
And, more importantly (everyone say it with me): do I want to know???

AEB:

To me, on the remixed Quad, the drums have always sounded a bit too harsh. 
Unlike every other Who rerelease. My only complaint about it...and this is 
true of both the MCA and Polydor releases.

You know, I mourned the fact that Patrick Stewart didn't take the role...but 
now I'm thinking it's better than he didn't.
What sucks is A Beautiful Mind is a sure winner for Best Picture, when we all 
know 30 years from now no one will remember it (unlike Fellowship).

You're scaring me, man...I read it first in 1969 and have read it at least 
once every year since. It's become my Christmas present to myself. What's 
hard is not watching the VCD over and over, so when it gets released on DVD I 
won't be tired of it. I hear there's an extra hour of footage...is that my 
mouth watering?
