>>>Did you hear that Pete and Roger are planning a new tour, including a front to back performance of "Quadrophenia"? Good lord. The classic rockers keep getting older but they never seem to stop performing. Chuck Berry, who got a jump of several years on the British Invasion bands, is still doing shows. Evidently the only way out is to die. Who possibly foresaw this when rock and roll first appeared, as the music of disaffected youth? It was Pete himself who wrote the immortal line "Hope I die before I get old." He didn't get his wish.

>>Some of them should have been shot right after the 2nd album; some of them are wearing the years gracefully. Some play their old tunes faithfully, some massacre them beyond recognition.

>>As for the 2nd album reference, it's about all those bands who were original and fresh on the first one, then that one earned them the liberty to show what they really want to do - which they'd do on the 2nd, which was even better. Unfortunately, by the time of the 3rd, they'd run out of ideas, or got into (on their own, or by 200 bar pressure of their contract) thinking that they should do something that would sell even better. And then started producing crap.

>Are you talking about The Who?! Tommy, Quadrophenia, Who's Next -- nothing there? Wow, you're tough ;-)

Nah, just general rant. As usual, couldn't remember proper examples, except local names here.
