George M. Spencer said...: 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....

Ron said...: 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...; 1/8/08, 9:41 AM

DaLawGiver said...: 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.; 1/8/08, 10:19 AM

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; 1/8/08, 10:30 AM
Ann Althouse said...: TV was full of lip-synching back then. (And now!); 1/8/08, 10:33 AM

George M. Spencer said...: 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?; 1/8/08, 11:04 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Yeah, there's coke.

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

The song is about the New Hampshire primary!; 1/8/08, 11:32 AM
Richard Fagin said...: 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.; 1/8/08, 12:46 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: 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; 1/8/08, 1:34 PM
John Stodder said...: 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.; 1/8/08, 1:35 PM
blake said...: 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)?; 1/8/08, 4:00 PM
blake said...: John--

This is true. That Ipod commercial gave this little song a boost....; 1/8/08, 4:05 PM
