    RIP the two members of The Who
    John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 - June 27, 2002), aged 57
    Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32
    You both will be remembered as legends.

      New TV Show "The Kids Are Alright" states this song is the inspiration for its title, set in early 1970s. That didn't ring a bell; I was "there" (1960s) so came to good ol' RUclips for a reminder....uhh.. nothin'! I literally have never heard this song ever in my life! Was it played on AM radio (all we had in the 60s)? Or would i only know it if I had the album? (Couldn't have afforded it, some of those albums were over FOUR DOLLARS!!!)

      I love the WHO once they grew up, but this is just generic bs, with future stars playing the instruments. For some reason, some paintings, of future masters are sold at very high prices, even though they are not yet in it self masterpieces. For me, this just spells, the people buying those pieces of "art", are "complete idiots". Buying this shit music as art, is the same as them overthinking genius was a personal trait, and I only hope music lovers are slightly smarter than art lovers. Then we could say this is generic shit, performed by future geniuses, instead of mislabeling it as art.

      The Beatles were also freakin babies when they started up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they ranged from age 16 through 19 (not including ringo since Pete was in at the time).
      And I also believe by the release of the first album, they were average around 19- 23? Imagine performing for the queen at that age, these children lol. But yeah, the Who made it even younger, and ARGUABLY, they were just as much of geniuses as the Beatles......or just Pete at least. Keith and the Ox are fucking incredible, way above average players, but it's all technique. Pete wrote those operas by himself in his early 20's!

I don't know, if u feel relaxed during this song or behind blue eyes, then ud know its either the lyrics, or the drum style of the song (Soft or aggressive).....

      Agreed. But he's also the worst mimer ever. Bar none. I understand the boyish rebellion of goofing a mime scenario but his relentless awfulness at it, especially when watching a whole bunch of Who promos and TV appearances is really annoying. It makes me wonder if that grace and flow within his astonishingly brilliant drum arrangements was always a one off. On these mimes, it's as if he has absolutely no idea of what he played.

    Pete was an incredibly talented songwriter, and Roger brought the lyrics to life. John and Keith had ungodly abilities and chemistry. Without a doubt they redefined what a rock band looked like and set the stage for decades to come.

      My favorite part is after the solo and it goes to the end of the song and then it's "Sometimes" I know I gotta get away, about time I know I have to get away, and I know if I don't I go out of my mind better leave her behind"

    I once tricked a whole crowd into liking The Who, by making them think this song was The Beatles.
    It was at a party, where most there were very prejudiced against The Who (or any good rock) without having tried them.
    I stuck on 2 early Beatles songs (Hard Day's Night, and I can't remember the other) then slid this song in 3rd. Everyone thought it was great _ especially the drums (in the non-vocal bit) in the middle.
    They were surprised not to have heard that "Beatles" song before. Then I triumphantly told them Who it really was.... ;-)
