yeah but when you have the rhythm section he had, nothing sounds like a finished record til you've got them on it

After reading the book, I watched Classic Records: Who's Next on netflix--it was great, in the way that whole series is, for all the isolated elements of the songs. Entwistle was just amazing on everything he played.

I kind of wish Roger would write a bio, just for balance. My guess is it would be good-natured, mildly funny, and about 120 pages long.

I love the little aside about Roger always prattling on about various conspiracy theories....LOL

Dunno about the book but I find I can't watch Townshend talking about almost anything on TV in the same way I can't with Geldof...he just sounds like such a tosser

Yeah its kind of insane to hear the Tommy demos and it's pretty much the entire finished album.

The version of "Tommy's Holiday Camp" that ended up on the finished album is actually Townshend's demo.
