Default Check this out!!!

Okay, so I got sucked into "America's Got Talent" this summer. Yes, I am not proud of that fact, but the final episode made it all worthwhile. No, the person I wanted to win did not (it was another kid-America is so predicable), but the Blue Man Group performed Baba O'Riley by The Who. It is awesome. Here's the link to the performance on Youtube. Check it out!!!

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I think it was great. BTW, that was Tracy Bonham doing the singing. Secondly, if you want to hear some bad versions of Who songs just wait until their "reunion" tour later this year or next year. Those guys are so old and out of practice it is going to be really pathetic. I think the booze has finally gone to your head.

I have it on good authority (footage from "The Kids are Alright") that Pete Townsend's deafness is due largely to an event on the Smothers Brothers show when Keith Moon packed his bass drum with explosives and blew it up on the set-unfortunately, right next to Pete's right ear. Of course, I'm sure being the guitarist for one of the loudest bands in the world (Rock Lists) doesn't help either.
My ears rang for three days after being in the third row center for a Who concert, then went to see the Clash.

..uh oh


----What was that????????


Blue Man Group was great. Thanks
