I know it's just art for art's sake but can you see the real me?
. . . I love the old stuff "My Generation" . . . "Happy Jack" . . . "I Can See For Miles" . . . "Magic Bus" . . . "Tommy" . . . "Who's Next" . . . They were at Woodstock . . . Their songs live in my soul !
They are Rock Gods . . . Y'all know this . . . RIGHT ?

sad thing is, he's right.
I have never seen people so warmly received as when they played THE WHO.

Seen 'em in 67 along with Creem, The Blues Project, Blues Magoos, Wilson Picket at the Murry the K show at the RKO, NYC. A life altering experience for any young rocker!
The Who and Creem were billed beneath Mitch Ryder ! (strange times, they were)
I surely must have been influenced by Townshend & company in those days, as I can recall kicking over the 'ol Farfisa combo organ many times in the high school gym after jammin' out on "My Generation".

I see Pete is still reggin' the contests at IAC.
"If you can't stand behind our troops, stand in front of them." "The West was not won with a registered gun."
"No law ever prevented a crime."

Imho, Pete is one of the most underrated songwriters of my lifetime, in spite of his success. Ppl just don't seem ro appreciate his work on the composing level, yet they all hold up when examined. Strange chord choices, hammering rhythms of his strong right hand, & powerful melodies combined with lyrics that flow realistically, can often stand alone, & actually have meaning...yeah, I guess you could say I'm a fan...esp when you take this level of writing & perform it with the ground-breaking musicianship & amazing vocals of the band as a whole...
Count me in! "I Can See For Miles" is one of the best powerpop songs ever written. Although I'm most influenced by their early stuff, "Who's Next" remains my all-time favorite studio album.
Saw them in '78 and saw Pete and Roger in the fall; they've always sounded great live.
