The second half is just pure latter-day Townshend; an eloquent, reflective, and heartfelt commentary on his own song but from the perspective of the other end of a long and distinguished career. I do wish John had been able to chime in with his thoughts, especially since he didn't have much longer to live here, but he would probably have used the opportunity for a bit of his trademark morbid humor.

Beyond the simple positve votes for The Who, as someone who was 20 when they actually wrote this stuff, I have to remark on Roger's perfect, absolutely perfect, management of this song live. He does not stretch to notes he can no longer reach and he plays nicely, but not stupidly, to the audience. What a beautiful practitioner of his art. I look at Roger and think "wow, what a superb example of grace with the wisdon of age". Only Robert Plant can equal this level of eloquence. Hats off.

Reevomatic : 1. "Trust the art, not the artist". If the artist is a murderer, a robber or a cheat, this doesn't mean anything about the art itself. You could know nothing about the artist. 2. As it happens, Townsend has been cleared on the accusations. Whether he's innocent or not, The Who were a great band. End of story.
