Had Enough...
Because all the members of this blog have apparently regressed to the point of being unable to form a coherent sentence, much less express it using something as complicated as a coordinated and meaningful series of keystrokes (it's called aphasia, ok?), I offer the brilliance of Pete Townshend's masterpiece demo of what would become a masterpiece song on The Who's masterpiece album, Quadrophenia. Until someone else posts here (or until Rickyd revokes my posting privileges), this is my (other) blog, and I'll damn well do what I please with it. So suffer or rejoice as you see fit. Even misery is preferable to insentience, n'est ce pas? Without further ado, the rudimentary The Real Me...Seriously, people, I know you're riding...post some shit already!

Awesome song, but I must confess, I much prefer the the "real" version which includes the thunderous bass manifestations of the late John Entwistle.
Sure, sure, I'm with you. The obvious boon of Entwistle's bass aside for the moment, Daltrey, too, always managed to butch it up proper where it was needed to really bring in the energy. But check out Townshend's other "demos"...absolutely brilliant. I use quotation marks because who puts that much polish and perfection into demos? Unreal.
Thanks for reading, ha.
I am not riding
so I have do not have anything to post
as a teenager I listened to The Who
as a 9th grader I saw The Who at the Cap Center... I realized... I did not want to see the The Who at this stage of their career... but one of the earlier identities
somewhere I have a number of bookleg records... some of which contain songs written by Pete Townsend sung by Pete Townsend when we all had previously know them sung by Roger Daltrey
which begs the question...
did Townsend write songs for him to sing or for roger to sing...
are those songs of his emotions or of Rogers...
or something like that
lost my momentum as I heard the call for dinner
