Comment of the Week
This is a fun game. I want to play it every week now. Dave Nold writes:
Who’s Next an EMBARRASSING old favorite??? Why toe tap when you can windmill on air guitar? Unless you also find that embarrassing, of course. I’m not familiar with the Ricky Ricardo group but I did see the original Who in 1975 at the apex of their power. OH to go back to teenage wasteland. Dave
An interesting fact: I have never, ever, never ever ever never written anything about the Who without someone yelling at me. I don’t know why. They are my all-time favorite rock band, but I think it’s fair to admit that it might be a little embarrassing. I mean, when is the last time the Who was any good? Isn’t it painful to see those reunion tours? Pete is deaf! I love the man, but when you have to have someone else windmill for you, musically, it’s time to pack it in.
Is it true that when I most want to return to my old self I blast “Teenage Wasteland” or “Won’t Get Fooled Again”? Maybe. But is that a little goofy? You betcha.
Now. On to more important things. Is the FDA useless when it comes to drug advertising? It appears so. Philip talks about it in relation to Abilify ads here.

Hey Liz, thanks for making my entry the Comment of the Week! I feel very honored indeed. However, I would like to hope there is NO moral eqivalency between my good natured contribution and that of the inaugural winner of last week (he’s best forgotten). I know you are a rabid Who fan like me and I agree with everything you wrote. I think Pete changed his mind on “hope I die before I get old”. Old rock stars seem to have a hard time bowing out gracefully. The sad thing is that many of them are still better than 90% of what passes for music these days. The Who has left a lot of great music. Listen without shame, I say. By the way, my new favorite group is the Doves. If you dont know them, you should. Keep on rockin or toe tapping, Dave
