Pete got screwed over majorly in the royalties back in the day, it was tour or be bankrupt for the band, so let the man have his money. And who knows, he might have a purple pill addiction.
*I should add a disclaimer that this is coming from someone who just found another premature gray streak in her hair this AM, so yeah, I’m very desperately hoping that’s true. If it’s not, I’m well – screwed…
Don’t sweat it, hon. I’ve had a skunk stripe (gray streak) since I was 13. The bright side is, you can dye it funky colours and embarrass your kids AND your parents!
Ahh we love you anyway Sparrow – no matter how gray and.. whatever you are.
Anyway back to the joke…
Looks like this band… -puts on sunglasses- can’t get in tune…
Keith Moon was The Who’s original drummer who died in 1978 but he taught Zak Star the drummer they have now. The guy on the left is Roger Daltrey on the right Pete Townsend. Bass player John Entwistle died in 2002 so now they jokingly call the band The Two.
Well, to be fair, Keith Moon DID.
He’d be ECSTATIC right now…
….if he wasn’t dead.
No if he were alive he’d probably be too busy driving a motorized wheelchair into a hotel swimming pool to be ecstatic over that.
no, no, he’d still be blowing up toilets in hotels
Careful. When you say ANYTHING about dead people around here the pundits weep and spew all over the place.
yeah, i was wondering where all the too soon comments were…
LOL – To be fair it is a different century than when he died so I guess that qualifies as enough time passed.
Who?
Exactly
The name of the band
The Who?
But what is the name of the band?
What band? The Who?
wait? who’s this now?
D-D-D-D-D DUMBASS COMMENT BREAKER
Probably not the exact line of quotes, but it sounds like the Animaniacs skit involving Slappy the Squirrel and Woodstock.
That was one of the funniest things i have seen in my life, so classy, yet brilliantly funny.
first base.
not cool
Agreed, their Super Bowl show was not cool at all. Nor is them pimping out every song they can to TV shows and advertisers.
+1

We already know what Pete’s addiction is, and it wasn’t pills. It was something small, though.
only smaller
Roger had the ‘die before I get old’ attitude back in the day if you read interviews or the Maximum R&B book.
Keith Moon
Well, if it was Moon, then that’s a check in the ‘did it’ category.
Zombies!
That’s a different band.
I’m laughing so hard at this picture and it’s really unsettling.
Umm…Keith Moon DID die before he got old….
Knowledge fail.
Umm Keith Moon didn’t write or sing the lyric. Knowledge and criticizm fail.
Didn’t the guy who played Base die too? Major Fail
Yeah, John Entwistle is also dead, but to be fair, that was only a few years ago. He was already old.
Keith’s the one who got it right…if ODing can be said to be doing it right.
Which base did he play? 3rd?
That’s “bass”, bonehead. And yes, he did, in 2002.
Not before he got old.
I think it’s all in the mindset.
They’re in a tontine with everyone who played at the Rolling Stone Rock and Roll Circus, some day it’ll just be Daltrey and Keef…
..?
If Pete Townshend lives to be a hundred and fifty, he’ll still never be old. Old’s a state of mind. It’s got nothing to do with age.

Talkin’ ’bout my (de)generation
Win!

Ahh we love you anyway Sparrow – no matter how gray and.. whatever you are.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
F***ing LOL.
I wish they’d stop talking about their generation.
They don’t remember anything else about it.

Awesome-sauce.
Emphasis on ‘Who’
Who’s Keith Moon? is he the guy on the left?
Keith Moon was The Who’s original drummer who died in 1978 but he taught Zak Star the drummer they have now. The guy on the left is Roger Daltrey on the right Pete Townsend. Bass player John Entwistle died in 2002 so now they jokingly call the band The Two.
the who will never get old though….
they might have got old apparently but they stay young in their ways ^o^
another dumbass who does not know the meaning of irnoy. yay.
I can’t find “irnoy” in my dictionary…. so I don’t either D: NOOOOOOOOOO
Yes but Teenage Wasteland/Babba O’riely was one of the best songs ever f***ing made.
Yet another example of why British Rock Music is the best in the world!
Garland Greene: Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.
