Go on….

Very few movies require a scene set in a diner, or a tennis match, or an explicit knife fight, or a scene of someone having a weeping fit to tell a coherent, compelling story. That doesn't mean that those that do are somehow worse for having done so. How is sex different?

You're not usually a troll, but what you're saying here is unbelievably stupid.

Most porn doesn't feature over 2.5 hours of people doing everyday stuff fully clothed.

The reissue really does render the original obsolete, doesn't it? I mean, there's an entire extra album on there with Tommy alone, plus a handful of other extra tracks, and it's all fucking killer.

Where I think they beat all those bands though (with the possible exception of The Clash) is in sheer musicianship. They had fucking chops. Which of course only increased the live energy.

Except the only person who isn't in the rhythm section is Daltrey, who by the early 70's is one of the best rock vocalists, period. And the other guy who is kind of not a rhythm player (but really kind of is) is a spectacular songwriter and composer. It's really a unique and fantastic combination.

Exactly. For all the massive substance abuse and really weird idiosyncratic style of playing, the guy could keep time pretty damn well.

True, that scene is kind of awesome. As is Schwarzenegger's breakfast smoothie. The rest of the movie… not so much.

Fair enough, I can see that proggy guys would hate him. He's all heart and no head, exactly the opposite of them.

My folks claim that The Who played at their university graduation party, shortly before they stopped doing things like playing at university graduation parties. They had no idea who they were, and still don't, really. The headliner was Cleo Laine. Apparently the drummer for the band that might have been the Who was…

"I like diddling little boys"

Why is that surprising? They were an insanely catchy band with impeccable pop hooks.

Really? You hang out with too many snobs then, which surprises me given the music you like. Holy shit that sounds condescending, but I just mean that you seem to be a big fan of meat 'n' potatoes kind of music. And in those circles at least (as well as in the circles of anyone with fucking ears) Moon is generally…

If you can find it, I'd recommend watching the Maximum R&B documentary. That's what did it for me, and I was surprised it wasn't mentioned here. In fact, I think I'm going to go see if I can get it somewhere online. Now.

Sounds kind of like a retread of his character in that shitty Schwarzenegger film.

Or you can just have partners who understand precisely 0 about how computers work.

I gave up flagging you on principle, but, yeah, flagged.

Woah, troll duel.

Woah, now it's 3 up and 2 down… it's all a great mystery.
