One day I want to start up a band.

I’d call it The Whom.

We’d do covers of The Who songs.

I’d probably actually have to learn to play some Who songs first, though. I guess.

And we’d probably have to disband after the first gig, seeing as I wouldn’t be able to afford a new instrument after the guitar-smashing finale.

But I’m already (temporarily, hopefully) half deaf, so I reckon I could do a pretty convincing Pete Townshend.

Oh hang on. He’s the one who got caught accessing kiddie porn, for “research purposes”.

Damn.
Well there goes that whole plan.

If only he’d instead been looking at pictures of naked sheep…

Plus, these days people would probably think we're a CSI theme song covers band, anyway...

I love it when a Who song comes on the radio and I turn to someone and go

“Who sings this?”

and they go

“Dunno. Who sings this?”

and I go

“Yeah, that's right”.

and they go

"What?".

and I go

"No, The Who."

and they go

“You’re a dick.”

I don't like that part so much.

When I was in high school, one of the seventh formers came into our class to talk about the school ball and what sort of music we wanted and then he rattled off a list of bands, including The The. To which I replied "The Who?", to which he replied "Yeah, we've got their stuff too".

And that's the first I'd ever heard of either of those bands.

Currently listening to a long lost Who album. Does that explain?

My daughter could start up a band called "But Why".

My wife could start one called "Because I Said".
