I look all white, but my dad was black....Those crocodile tears are what you cry. It's a genuine problem. You won't try to work it out at all. You just pass it by....

Cool clothes....

Also, from '74 live

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...

Oh jeez! I rememebr that. Oh, those "innocent" tenage years.

Ron म्हणाले...

Yow! Mighty young Ox, Moonie looks a Monkee, pre-poofy hair Daltry with a shirt from hell, but Pete's coat! I'd get in a barney or two for that...

Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...

I look pretty young but I'm just backdated...

Entwistle said, "The Beatles made better records than us but we could have blown them off the stage."

True.

Excellent documentary about The Who was put out in November.

Now that is the real deal.

Except of course that they are lip synching - no cords on the guitars, no mikes, and how does Pete make his Fender sound just like an acoustic guitar??

Another classic from a different band, about ten years later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJc4dzZ3IA

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

TV was full of lip-synching back then. (And now!)

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

George picked up the clues, by the way.

john म्हणाले...

Are those John Kerry's missing medals?

George M. Spencer म्हणाले...

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done....

We're all confused. What's to lose?

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Yeah, there's coke.

There's "get my washing done" = "Iron my shirt."

The song is about the New Hampshire primary!

Richard Fagin म्हणाले...

The music from "Happy Jack" was used in a Hummer commercial. We're DATED! I haven't been so depressed since I heard "Time Won't Let Me" used in an Eckerd's commercial.

Dust Bunny Queen म्हणाले...

All of the lead in songs for the CSI series are Who songs.

Who Are You? CSI Las Vegas
Won't Get Fooled Again CSI Miami
Baba O'Reilly CSI New York

John Stodder म्हणाले...

Bands used to be ashamed to sell their songs to advertisers.

Now, they do it and brag about it. For a lot of bands, use in TV ads are the only exposure they can get, since radio has become so formularized.

blake म्हणाले...

But who are they substituting for?

Obviously, for the Reps, it's Reagan.

For the Dems...it's JFK (Obama)? Bill (Hillary)? Strawberry Shortcake (Silky Pony)?

blake म्हणाले...

John--

This is true. That Ipod commercial gave this little song a boost....

अनामित म्हणाले...

Any day is a good day to listen to The Who.
