I have a solo recording project called "Shades Below", in which I play all the instruments (keyboards/bass/drums). Looking for a lyricist to help take them to the next level.

Nothing was taken...just a huge mess left in the the employees' break room.

There are points where Keith sounds a little past his prime, but then does something fantastic, such as practically playing a drum solo during the organ/synth break during "Won't Get Fooled Again", like he didn't want to stop playing.

THE WHO: "John's Birthday Party".
Oakland Coliseum, October 9, 1976. Great show where they're opening for the Grateful Dead (this is the first of two shows).

Their rallying train of thought...

Their mind-set....

Not only with their evil rhetoric, but with this three-line chant of theirs. Corny and bizarre at the time, but it's sounding eerily prophetic now. I wouldn't have been surprised if this had been chanted at the rally last night.

Screenshot from the "Sgt. Pepper" movie from 1978 (you know, the one with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton in it). This is from a scene where a bunch of newly-minted evil recruits are being "programmed" to take over the world.

Not me, or one of my own....but now we know!

Probably something with lots of codeine in it.
Russell the pharmacist was hilarious on "Two And A Half Men".

Over here in the States, it's "chug down a bunch of this stuff!".

I'd watch a spinoff based on this idea. Imagine a group of paranoid tweakers with a crackhound taking apart old fridges and scrounging for copper wire.

It’s beautiful how the internet has come together to collectively hate a woman for stealing a baseball from a child at a Phillies game….now, if we had that same energy for other and meaningful things in society, we could be unstoppable.

Saw this on FB, which reads kinda funny, since he was actually in the band. It could almost read if he were the opening act, with an orchestra behind him...now, that would have been epic!
