Highly un-PC comment alert. llama

Major, A-list rock stars often seem to knock around with/marry women considerably less attractive than the average groupie.

Sometimes they are one of the groupies, but almost hardly ever (subjectively speaking of course) the 'hottest' one*.

Pete bucked that general trend on all fronts.

*I can cite countless examples

The whole 'I've had enough' is a bit of a theme with PT and The Who in general.

A tiny bit overblown at the end there.

Well, I liked it.

Looking back at this thread I can't help feeling that if it hadn't been such a debacle then Guesticles wouldn't've'd been cut adrift with the coldly gimlet-eyed Wendi-Pops and ended up viewing the album so negatively.

I'm pretty sure he likes T-HenderZ and Teh Who more than I do, so...

Oh...

Ohh...

I like this one, even though I've probably listened to the next one more, even if it's not as good, it has some interesting ideas.

In fact they get steadily worse as they go on, Iron Man is almost unlistenable, although Psychoderelict isn't quite as bad as it's reputation, it's still rancid.

And White City: A novel is [REDACTED]
