OK... pardon me for becoming fan-boy for a minute here, but IT IS ABOUT TIME that SOMEONE honors the Who!!!! VH1 's Rock Honors show is honoring, in my opinion, one of the greatest bands in history!!!! Normally, the Rock Honors highlights a few bands. Tonight, though, they are spending the entire 2 hour show just on the Who!! I was really pleased to hear this.
The Who is not only one of the greatest bands in the history of rock music, they also had one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock music... Keith Moon!!
The Who were true innovators. Their rock opera, Tommy, was one of the most groundbreaking records of the 1960s. Their well-written songs & inspired musicianship still sound fresh even today.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Who, I highly recommend checking out the following songs: "I Can See For Miles", "Pictures of Lily", "Baba O'Reilly", "Who Are You", "Pinball Wizard", & "Magic Bus". Enjoy!!
Until next time... keep rockin'!!!!

The Raging Moon was an artist.
Townsend has been recently quoted recalling a listen to some old Moon recordings from the Tommy sessions and says that when he slowed the tape down he was able to hear minute notes squeezed into an already insane drum piece.
Impossible?
My favorite Moon stuff comes the the Tommy sessions, so this story was intriguing.
Wassup Mike?
