Jesus, say it ain’t so. Yep, it is. Dammit! The Who are ready to tour again, people. That’s right, The Two are ready to tour again. Why? It just seems completely wayyyyyyyy beside the point (and really, that breaking point occurred during the live recordings of Who’s Last) by this time. Please, please, people. Don’t go wasting your money on this tour. Don’t go to just say “I saw The Who live!” when you really didn’t at all.
Now, I’m going to sit here and proudly say that my fave Who album all around is Face Dances, the first of two final studio albums released by the band featuring Kenney Jones on drums after Keith Moon managed to finally top himself. I love the album, and I’m glad the band stayed together to record it (I can’t say the same for its follow up It’s Hard, however). But is it me, or does it seem like Led Zeppelin got it right all those years ago by just shutting down permanently after John Bonham died? OK granted, you had the whole Page/Plant thing briefly (and God knows it was better than the ill-advised Coverdale-Page travesty), but the point is Zep is still looked upon fondly with mucho respect given the fact that they didn’t keep going. Or worse, keep going, then “quit”, then return again, then “quit”, and so on.
Roger can’t possibly need the money. Not after doing those fabulous late-night infomercials for various artist CD hit collections.
