Oh hi. It's been a minute, hasn't it? Sorry for the lack of posts on here. I'm happy to say it's because I've been doing a lot of writing elsewhere, although I certainly don't want this blog to die. Where else can I blab about my favorite classic rock bands, silent movies, and TV shows?Continue reading “Monday Night Feels: The Who Edition”

A night in Oakland, with The Who
Sooooooo, on Friday night one of my lifelong dreams came true and I saw The Who in concert. It. was. incredible. To be quite honest, I don’t know how Pete and Roger can still do it – after almost 50 years of playing and touring, you’d think they’d have fizzled out by now. Not theContinue reading “A night in Oakland, with The Who”
Amazing Journey, indeed
Last week I finished Pete Townshend’s autobiography “Who I Am,” which was a long and entertaining read. While I was reading the book, I kept thinking how much great material there was for a Pete-themed drinking game (ironic, given a lot of the subject matter). For example, Take a drink:*Every time you come across theContinue reading “Amazing Journey, indeed”
Crashing by Design
It’s Pete Townshend’s birthday! How appropriate, because I’ve been on a crazy Who high for the past week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE! . . That last one makes me smile. Crazy old Pete, he’s close to 70 and can still jump like he’s 25. Also, apparently Pete has a book coming out this October??? Is itContinue reading “Crashing by Design”
Impossibly cool Pt. II
Wayne, Townshend, Lennon, Mahal, Kerouac.
Long live ROCK
Remember the windmill video I did a while back? For the Who Windmill Contest? Well the nerdiness paid off and I won 2nd place!! The best part is, second place gets ROCK BAND 2! I also won the new Maximum R&B Live DVD and a Who shirt!! Ahhhhhhhh I’m so happy, and all thanks toContinue reading “Long live ROCK”
WINDMILL CONTEST?!
OH MY GAWD this is the best thing I’ve heard of since the OK Go Dance Contest: THE WHO WINDMILL CONTEST. Dood. Dood. Dood. I wanna do it. One of the prizes (among others like Rock Band 2 and a STRATOCASTER SIGNED BY PETE) is this DVD, which includes several windmills in its trailer: MoreContinue reading “WINDMILL CONTEST?!”
rock and ROLL
Pete Townshend’s birthday was 2 days ago and I FORGOT! I blame my midterm. HAPPY LATE PETE DAY! I found this video awhile back; not sure why no one else seems to have seen it but I find it HILARIOUS. Old Man Pete is such a spazz! I also think it’s funny how excited heContinue reading “rock and ROLL”
Beatles and Who….Who-tles?
I saw this pic on Capslock Who and LOL’d. Oh Pete. So I found out while looking at the classes for next quarter that the music history department is offering a class dedicated SOLELY to the Beatles. No joke. I think that is pretty amazing, although I would never take it (one, because I haveContinue reading “Beatles and Who….Who-tles?”
i wish i had my very own pete townshend
OMG. I am so glad this exists: . New-Millenium-Pete dancing is almost as awkward as Early-60s-Pete dancing. But all the Pete in between = WIN. YouTube is a godsend. I doubt anyone would care to watch an old rock god messing around in the studio, but I laughed so hard when I saw this. HeContinue reading “i wish i had my very own pete townshend”
