Things are kind of slow here on Sunday evening...

I knew that, count the sideways chevrons.

Okay, I am perhaps a bit sensitive on the subject due to my rapidly advancing age. I see a lot of similar comments online from people who sneer at [insert name of 60s legends] without having actually been at the show in question, it gets up my nose a bit. Not all Who shows are outstanding (and frankly this one wasn't) but not much more than a year ago I saw them tear down the building at one show in particular. They really don't need to pretend they can still do it, they actually can.

I'd love to be in Roger Daltrey's condition when I'm 65--hell, I'd like to be that fit now, the bastard's stomach is flat as a Starrett ruler. Townshend has aged fairly well too since he gave up drugs and booze in time. Many others -- the ones still alive -- are in bad shape. A lifetime of booze and hard drugs and no sleep apparently catches up with one....

Got an e-mail about this via Roger's wife.... he looks younger here than he did the last time I saw him in person!

attached so many memories. Dylan's My Back Pages was one of those songs. Then to see McGuinn start this off sent shivers down my spine... (To see this now makes me realize even more how much of a loss Harrison was)

I am old enough to appreciate The Who and maybe because I am that old, I'd rather see Janet's boob than Pete's belly.
