Hey, I'm just surprised Sizemore didn't speak up when Vikings RB Onterrio Smith got pegged for using his own Whizzinator.

I figured they'd be two peas in a pod.

Watch what you say about Townshend. He's my rock hero. Any man who can write both "Won't Get Fooled Again" AND "Now I'm A Farmer" ("it's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming!") gets every benefit of the doubt.

Except in the UK, "farming" is slang for "trolling for illegal underage mangina."

My only experience of his dealings with children is that he's unselfishly helped every cause, and individual child, I have sent his way.

I didn't realize pedos traded victims like baseball cards. What do they do - make pre-pubescent boys into individual spokes on undersized wheels of pain? Clack, clack, clack, clack . . . Sounds just like a motorcycle with a nice tight tail pipe!

Research my ass. (not literally)

They are all perverts... and the fact that we let them wander free is the real reason that the islamofacist terrorists are able to recruit so well...

As a rabid Who fan, I have to say that I find this to be disheartening.

I guess we all should have known where Townshend was coming from after he wrote "Rough Boys".

Keep in mind, it was Entwistle who wrote the pedophilia song ("Fiddle About" from Tommy):

I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie
I'm glad you won't see or hear me as I
Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

Your mother left me here to mind you
Now I'm doing what I want to
Fiddling about, fiddling about, fiddle about

Down with the bedclothes,
Up with yer nightshirt
Fiddle about, fiddle about, fiddle about

Classy stuff.

Another priceless line from rock's seediest concept album: "We forsake you/Gonna rape you."

Fewer people should be paying attention to Pete Townshend's public states and more should be listening to the wisdom of John Lennon.

Check out this interview with Lennon found at Colby Cosh's site http://www.colbycosh.com/. Think Lennon knew something that the promoters of Live8 didn't?

See me
Hear me
Touch me
Feel me

And I just bought a Who CD....yick. None of these offending songs are on it though. (Live at Leeds).

Yeah, but Who's Next is one of the few old CD's I can't seem to tire of. Keith Moon was fantastic!

" Keith Moon was fantastic!"

That's why I like Live at Leeds. Nobody plays any kind of music on any kind of instrument as well as Keith Moon.

Master of None

There is a drum solo by him online (sound is poor) at:

Live at Leeds is unquestionably the greatest live album ever. I wouldn't single anybody out only because it's an amazing example of ensemble playing. But if you want to have your jaw drop, the next time you listen to it, focus on Entwistle. The man was a towering giant. Held the whole thing up on his shoulders. He was an innovator in a lot of areas, too, not just playing. Did you know that he invented round-wound strings? That was what gave him that driving sound.

I saw Zeppelin open for them at Meriwhether Post Pavilion (MD) when Zep's first album had just come out, and they were relative unknowns (except for the musicians in the crowd).

After Zeppelin's set, the consensus was that they had stolen the show. Ahhh....no. The Who came out and blew them out of the water.

Man, another major icon demolished. This is just pathetic.

Who?

I had tickets for a performance of Daltry and Entwistle along with a full orchestra. It was called something like "Daltry Sings Townsend" or something like that. My seats were third row, but the concert was cancelled because Entwistle had cut his hand. I bought the tickets just for a chance to see Entwistle up close.

If you're into the Who, get the Isle of Wight 2 CD set. It kicks ass. Roughly the same time as Live at Leeds, great performance, hilarious banter between Townshend, Moon and Daltrey, fantastic sound. Some excellent songs that are not on any albums, and are rarely heard (Heaven and Hell, Don't Even Know Myself, Water, etc.) Lots of blues covers.

I listened to their "Live In Cincinnati" CD the other day and it was crap, just full of screaming.

The only decent track was 'Get the fuck off me'.

Please get real, if wacko was really abusing kids they would have come out of the woodwork in droves, yes it is really odd what he was doing with hoards of youg kids bit I dot believe abuse was on the menu, the claimants parents sent him back after the last accusations from THEM???? if he was guilty of abuse then why were they not charged with procuring? Compare what wacko was accused of compared to the hoard of catholic pedo priests, they must be laughing their socks off at Jackson. As for Townsend they filth took awar 3 or 4 G4 towers and found nothing to charge him with, his was one of 1500 names including the upper reaches of law and church supplied by the US police, where are the high prifile arrests of the pedo lwyers, judjes, politicos and bishops??? this all adds up to a handy smokescreen for the real bastards, looik for the bigger picture

So Chris. Would you describe yourself as Pro-pedophile?

Delphi- that was awful, but hilarious
