Hi Keets,

I am not sure exactly.  Except that I told him, a few months before I got 
that DVD, that when he disposed of my extensive Who LP collection when I was 
about 14, that it didn't effect my love for their music and if anything, I am 
more of a fan now then ever.  My dad is a musician, but when I was a 
teenager, and was being rebellious, he felt that the Who music I listened to 
was making me rebel.  At some point, I think he might have read something or 
saw something about Pete Townsend that appealed to him from a 
guitarist/musician point of view.  Then when I loaned him the DVD, for the 
purpose of trying out his new DVD player, he insisted on skipping forward to 
the Who's performance.  I was so shocked.  I thought he'd watch for a minute 
and then turn it to something else.  He watched every Who song!!!  I was 
practically brought to tears of joy.  He asked questions and commented on how 
Zak looked like his dad.  I was so completely blown away.  A moment I will 
cherish for sure.  Today, he put it on in front of my whole family and again 
skipped to the Who part.  What a rush!

Regarding the Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon article, I got that from the Fox 
News website.  It came from Eric Burns who hosts a show on the weekends that 
is my absolute favorite show on Fox.  It is called Fox News Watch.  There are 
a few conservatives, like Cal Thomas, and a few liberal media experts.  The 
point of the show is to discuss how the stories of the past week were 
reported, on Fox as well as on other news shows.  They talk about stuff like 
if a story was over-reported or what mistakes were made by journalist, 
including those on Fox,etc.  Like I said, there are both right and left 
points of view so you get both sides (fair and balanced!).  I love that show 
and if you haven't seen it Lela, I bet you would like it too.  It is only 
aired on the weekends.

:)!!!
