the problem with the Who is that they were shit

you know what, I always thought the same thing, but I gave them another go in my 30s and finally 'got it'
Nothing past the early 70s though

They were fucking brilliant at Woodstock, and 'Live At Leeds' is a really great live LP, up there with the best of them I reckon

the thing is they weren't really a mod band apart from arguably their first single
Certainly not by '66

My mate davel 'Chanel' was an original mod and will have no time for anybody suggesting the who had anything to do with proper mods

their first manager Pete Meaden was a proper mod with all the connections
He persuaded them to change their name to The High Numbers and release 'I'm The Face'. He wrote the lyrics, cashing in on the mod slang of the day. They got rid of him straight afterwards - that's the closest they came to the proper mod scene

haha, I'll bet mentioning Paul Weller doesn't exactly go down well either
It seems to be a badly misunderstood part of London history.

I'd love to spend some time chatting with your pal

one of my old mates from the 90s hip hop scene's dad was (apparently) a famous jewel thief in the 60s
Apparently there's a movie about him, but in fairness I can't verify that.

My mate told me that his dad said that most people talk shit and he wasn't bothered by threats - but one person he was genuinely scared of was Jimmy Saville: if he was after you, you were fucked.
