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”

Lovable Loon
It’s Keith Moon’s birthday! Celebrate with some adorably mod Who: I honestly think my favorite drumming of Keith’s is at the very beginning of The Who’s career. Later on, he had his 20-piece kits with double bass drums and toms for days, but in early videos like this he produces practically the same sound with justContinue reading “Lovable Loon”
Top Fives: John Entwistle Edition
Top 5 Who Songs Sung by John: –Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (I love this one so much, don’t judge) –Boris the Spider (obvi) –The Quiet One –Trick of the Light -I know it’s kind of a stretch, but A Quick One because John’s falsetto at the end is too. much. . Nikki’s Top 5 Favorite Johnfacts: -He hadContinue reading “Top Fives: John Entwistle Edition”
Of Mods and Rockers
Tonight I’m remembering that one time I saw The Who in concert and how flipping awesome it was. Seriously one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen and probably ever will see. I’ll never listen to Quadrophenia the same way again. I’m also remembering the first time I listened to The Who. It was theContinue reading “Of Mods and Rockers”
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”
Last Who post, I promise
…Just kidding. I can’t make any promises like that. But I do have some other topics I’ve been meaning to write about, it just depends on whether or not I have the attention span to finish the posts. :P So anyway, Cool Thing of the Day about The Who: each member of the band wasContinue reading “Last Who post, I promise”
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”
There once was a note…
So last night I watched Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who on Netflix (which, according to this post, I’d already seen before??), and once again reaffirmed my devout, undying love for The Who. I really need to include them more often in this blog. They were/are a huge part of my rock & rollContinue reading “There once was a note…”
you are forgiiiiiiiiven
I watched Amazing Journey tonight, and it was exactly that: AMAAAAZING. It covers the entire career of The Who, from their childhood to 2007 (1973-1974 era Who is my favorite). I also went on The Who website and read that Pete’s writing a new rock opera…Floss?? Not so sure about the title, Pete, but IContinue reading “you are forgiiiiiiiiven”
