Wow.
Now those were tough times.
“Their union didn’t survive the end of the war. Inevitably, Herbert returned home a changed man. His elder brother, who had traveled with him to Liverpool to enlist, was on the HMS Hood when it was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, killing all but three hands. On Renown in the South Atlantic, the crew had endured months on an enforced starvation diet which left Herbert requiring long-term hospital treatment. Apart for almost all of their first four years of marriage, when Herbert and Queenie came back together, they found that they hardly even knew each other. Their only child was eighteen months old when they separated; Herbert moved into a lodging house and would visit his son at Southfield Road every Friday night.”
great musician. immense talent. he was better on bass than most lead guitarists.
Oh, Blabbermouth actually published something in between Sebastian Bach’s anti-Trump brain droppings?
Dude got old. Die, like you said.
1967
The Who on the Smothers Brothers TV show. ...you must watch the ending. . classic Who.

Wouldnt think there was much
I was quiet
Never smashed my bass
Sand a song about a spider named Boris
Pissed my money away
Did alot of blow and died of a heart attack
....but unlike Pete, never surfed for kiddie porn!
Sorry, couldn't resist. 8>)
They were known for this kind of nonsense, as if destroying everything is their flight to riches. That did not last long, the bills started coming due.
His solo in My Generation is iconic. The ‘typewriter’ technique, as he called it, is intriguing.
Could play a pretty good horn too, especially on “My Wife”.
Was that the performance where Moon’s drum explosion damn near deafened Peter Townshend?
Yea. ..check out the ending. ...they also smash Smothers guitar. Psycho’s.
Not as psycho as the end of this Top of The Pops appearance in 73.
Pete really loses it at the end. I think this was around the time Roger punched him in the studio.

Which brings me to my next point. Don’t do coke after 50.
Saw them at Busch Stadium in 1989, best concert I ever attended.
John Paul Jones was way better.
Plus he was an admiral in the US navy
57 ain't that 'old' ... however, the OX did go out like a true Rock 'n Roller ... with a mound of Cocaine and two Hookers in Las Vegas ...
Some of the stories of Entwistle and The Who are legion, even more scary is that most of them are true ... it's kinda incredible that any of them even lived as long as they did. Although Daltrey is said to be a straight shooter .. no drugs, no booze, no smoke, even a bit conservative (he supports Brexit)
I’d be interested except that I detest the estates and heirs who keep cashing in on someone else’s work. So FO grubbers.
