That said, yeah, it would've been fascinating to hear Phil play with the Who. And it could've happened; Daltrey's idea was that the Who would have a revolving door of drummers, but Townshend shot him down and insisted on Jones. The irony is that Phil really seemed to love the Who, while Jones, by his own admission, only knew the hits when he joined.

a poignant bit from Pete's book about the period after Face Dances when Roger wanted Kenney out:
"Why was this new system not working for Roger? Roger literally used to dance to Keith's drums. He was balletic in his upper-body movements, just as I was balletic sometimes in my leaps and splits. (I once said to Roger that if you could combine his torso with my legs you'd have a hell of a man.) But when Kenney joined the band, Roger couldn't dance to the music any more. He claimed that Keith had always followed the vocal line, and that he in turn followed Keith. And Keith was gone."
i mean he's pretty open about his attraction to Jagger and other men in the book. if he'd acted on those impulses, it's difficult to imagine he'd hold back given how detailed the book is about everything else that ever happened to him.
Wasn't there someone he dun it with in his book? I forget who, boom boom.
