Sarcastic title for this post, but in the middle of a busy day, let me get a few things off my mind.I hope Steven Tyler gets himself some help and gets back to living clean and sober.

I know I'm in the minority of rock fans for preferring the finely crafted hits of post-sobriety Aeros...

Pete Townsend decided to go new wave with his 1982 album "All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes", including a complete change of appearance. The best song on that record, to my ears, is "Slit Skirts". I cannot even venture to guess what this song is supposed to be about, the lyrics are just plain weird. The body of the song is pretty gloomy sounding, and then the chorus picks up and gets reall...

samthebutcher asked us to name our favorite WHO song which made me think of some of my favorite stuff that is actually Townshend solo stuff. I do think that, as Townshend claimed in the latest WHO documentary, with Daltry Townshend met the perfect voice for his songs but I like his solo stuff as well as any of the who stuff. This is probably one of my favorite Townshend solo songs. Maybe it i...
