Robert Plant is the singer of the band. He’s got a big ego apparently and Pete Townshend once referred to this as “Lead Singer Syndrome.” One time Nikki Sixx said curly-haired people can’t rock and when someone brought up Robert Plant as an exception, Nikki goes, “Not my cup of tea.” Oh wait, I’m thinking of Led Zeppelin. The lead singer of The Who is Roger Daltery. He seems like a nice guy.
Pete Townshend is the guitarist of the band. He writes most of the songs. During the album It’s Hard, he was also working on a solo career. The Who suffered. That’s why you get songs like, “He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage / I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed / You were requisitioned Blondie!” on It’s Hard but great songs like “Rough Boys” on Pete’s solo venture (even though it’s not “no homo”).
There’s also a stoic bassist who I think is called Jon Entwistle. Like the bassist in Huey Lewis and the News, he just stands there and doesn’t do much. You get the feeling when looking at these guys, they are really happy they got the gig and wouldn’t blow it for the world. Oh wait, he just died. If they get back together they will probably get a new guy who will be really good.
The drummer of The Who was Keith Moon who died of partying or some shit. I assume they have a new guy or did before they broke up – which is difficult to determine because they had about 50 Final Tours. Anyway, that’s basically who’s in The Who.

I’m sorry, but this site is really fucking struggling at this point. You need some new blood. Seriously, and I don’t mean me or anything, but for the sake of Christ, give someone a chance whose hand is slightly on the pulse of what people find to be stimulating.

This as bad as a dumb 6th grader’s book report. And Keith Moon is the most interesting one from The Who dipshit. There are about a billion funny stories of him. This is the laziest shit ever. F-

If Keith Moon died of partying, it doesn’t look like a bad way to go:

Once I saw Robert Plant on the street in the East Village right outside Lucky Chang’s. I did what I always do when I stumble across famous people, I look at the person their with as if I recognize them instead. I did the exact same thing to Marilyn Mansion once on Saint Mark’s. Another time I openly hit on Alec Empire’s wife/girlfriend (whatever, it’s all the same to me) and we were dancing until suspicious Alec broke it up.
That was back in the nineties when New York was still cool. Now I live in Austin, and here I meet more famous people that I just can’t ignore, like Gary Floyd from the Dicks, and Rizza is always in town because we have a lot of film festivals. Supposedly he’s into some kind of underground Korean movie shit or something. I’m always cool to those guys but in general we need to let the famous know what’s up by dissing them and trying to fuck there wives.
10.20.08 at 10:46 pm
^^dunno about the ‘fucking there wives’ part because every fuckin douche whoseverlived probably has already been there b4 theys even got hitched, real talk

as a stand-alone blog post, this is funny enough. negated if this becomes a series. i’m fairly certain that ‘lol@u’ is sincere; how do these people find this website
10.21.08 at 2:07 am
I meant person they’re with, and yeah, no, you’re probably right. I’m going to keep doing it though, force of habit. I also meant to say their wives, we need to keep trying to fuck their wives.

I like the point in time where Pete Townsend was found out for kiddie porn. He gave it the old ‘it’s research’ excuse.
Where’s the book Pete?
Tommy is a load of shit and fuck The Who.
10.21.08 at 4:01 am
how many times did roger daltrey leave pete alone with the kids!
must be a tremendous strain on their continued working relationship
if roger was to pen a song he’d probably name it, SO Did You Bugger My First Born Son, Pete?
10.21.08 at 8:09 am
another would be: So Did You Because Really I want To So Fucking Kill You Right Now
10.21.08 at 8:11 am
Damn Gavin, are you that hard up for shit to write about? are you losing your edge now that you have a wife and kid? This sucks. I bet if you asked blognigger about the Who he’d tell you some cool shit.
