Thanks Joey!
Of course.
Pops still talks about you all the time. "When is Joey coming down from Nebraska?"
You are the son he never had, but always wanted. |

The WHO!
Pete Townshend. Rock and roll genius.
Ever see Townshend's Lifehouse show DVD? You should.
I shyed away from it for a long time because I thought it was some classical stylashions of Who bits that tangentially involved Pete. I was wrong.
Christ, that man Pete Townshend can play acoustic guitar.
Somewhere in the DVD he tells the audience that, in playing before them, he isn't doing anything different than when he used to play his demos to the Who. Its chilling.
Overall, the transition from Mary to I Don't Even Know Myself is the highlight. On Mary, he's playing some incredibly subtle acoustic with all kinds of his trademark flourishes, then on I don't Even Know, he just rocks out. Something in the song pisses him off, and he actually start snarling the lyrics. Fucking momumental rock and roll, gets the hair on your arms to stand up. I remembered what Gazza said when he saw The Who a couple of years ago "Best current rock and roll guitarist? Pete Townshend." |

Moonie, you justtouched me in my very special area. That is indeed a great fucking show. Mary is excellent, as is Greyhound Girl (still one of Petey's most underrated gems!).
Happy birthday, Pete! I am spinning the Lifehouse Demos right now in honor of your day! |
