I love the Who. They are legendary, and one of my top 5 groups of all time. But their last CD really bummed me out. They hadn't done a new album since It's Hard, in 1982. Then they release Endless Wire in 2006, and I can't listen to it because Roger Daltrey's voice is gone. Just sad to hear it crack and strain and not have any power at all.

I could see them going on after the death of Keith Moon. They were in their thirties - still had some juice in the tank. But after John Entwhistle died in 2002, I'd have hung it up, at least as "The Who". Now they're like that ballplayer who doesn't know when to retire, who plays a season or two where he embarrasses himself and messes up his stats and legacy.


Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
