Brits think that they are “socialist” if they support things like the NHS. It’s a more benign term to them, than it is here.

The joke was, that if you took the surviving Beatles and the surviving Who members and united them, they would be “The Whotles”.
And Zak Starkey has been The Who’s tour drummer for years.

That goes back to Woodstock.
Pete Townshend hit Abbie Hoffman with a guitar to get him off the stage when he took the mic and started talking politics.
Pete thinks there is no room for political talk with music is involved. I heard him once say if you have something to say, put it in the lyrics and perform it artfully.

i.e. Won’t Get Fooled Again. :)

Wish Roger Waters would follow Pete’s advice, well at least David Gilmour does.

That'll never happen. I saw Roger redo "The Wall". Political statements literally projected onto the wall itself the entire concert.

Quadraphonia was a masterpiece. Entwhistle was at his peak and the arrangement of Townsend was inspired.

My brother is a longtime Who fan. About a year or two ago, at a hefty price, he got seating in the first row at a Who concert that included a buffet and attendance at the band’s pre-concert tuneup and preparation. The band worked surprisingly hard and precise to get their timing right and their instruments and the speakers in order. The music performers with lasting careers are usually serious and professional.

It was for sure. I still frequently listen to both albums at work. I think my favorite bass from that album is from "The Real Me".

They mentioned yesterday that their roadies get started at 5:00am for a 7:30pm show.

The Who By Numbers doesn’t get a fair shake IMHO, Slip Kid is one of my favorite songs.

I'm probably guilty of not giving it a fair shake myself. I do own it, so today I'll play it, cover to cover.

“Imagine a Man” is one of Daltrey’s best vocal performances IMHO.

Agreed. Townsend readily admits hes not a great guitarist but his real skill is arranging music. I have to concur with him. John and Keith made that band IMO.

Pete is a good rhythm guitarist, and he’s pretty good on Acoustic.
Some say he’s a sloppy lead player, but it works.

I could put Quadrophenia on a continuous loop and just let it play for days.

My sentiments exactly.
I post a LOT on a political forum in a musicians’ site. I’d say 15% of us are conservative. about 10% are somewhat centrist or try to be. The rest are not just liberals. They are hard left. And some of them are actually pretty smart otherwise. But they are absolutely blinded.

I find myself a lot of times preferring Pete’s Original Demos to the finished product.
