The Who

Last night I watched the dvd of 'The Kids Are Alright' plus bonus disc which I'd rented from Netflix. The best special feature has to be the isolated track of John Entwhistle playing on 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. You really get to see his genius at work.

In a Q&A with Daltrey, he reveals that Keith Moon bribed the piro guy on the Smothers Brothers show so that the bomb inside the bass drum wasn't some decorative little pop, but instead went off with the force of a hand grenade, knocking Roger off his feet, embedding shrapnel in Keith's arm, setting Pete's hair on fire, scaring Bette Davis waiting in the wings so that she passed out cold while Mickey Rooney jumped up and down screaming for more!
