Hiss is prevalent in the quieter parts, but I’m actually surprised at how clean this still looks after all this time. The Patti Smith Group redefining two classic mid-1960s hits with unapologetic punk artistry that defied all expectations of what music could or should be on television. Groundbreaking and arguably as influential as the original songs were 10 years prior. Also makes me miss TV that was free of embedded logos and station ID overlays.

"At last! Entwistle's silence is broken": To most, John Entwistle is a dark solid-looking gentleman who stands firm and quiet to the right of two swirling blurs known as Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. He always seems quite unmoved by the thundering of Keith Moon's drums in his left ear and the general on-stage commotion when the Who are in action. John Entwistle is certainly the silent one of the Who. It's not a dubbing he likes: "After all I do more looning about the night clubs than any of the others," said John, "I know I never talk on interviews and that, but I find that I chat for hours to clubby people--or fans. I usually bend their ears off!" Does John resent the other members of the Who speaking up on behalf of him all the time? "On most of our interviews I don't say anything simply because Pete does all the nattering. Invariably we are asked 'What is pop art?' or 'Why do you smash guitars?' and I'm just not interested--I leave all that to Pete. The only other questions are usually like 'What is your next record?' or something. How are WE supposed to say anything? Peter writes and makes the demo discs of our new records so obviously he answers that one. I'm more concerned with our sound on stage and in what I'm playing. I think they call me the silent one because on the surface it seems I am. I don't move about much on stage because I think the group would fly off if they didn't have one solid person to keep it all together. Basically, the Who are individualists and soloists so without a backbone the sound would be four people each doing solos." Many people have said that the Who have done just about everything with feedback and sounds, and that there is nothing left to do. Where does John think the group is going? "We're definitely going forward all the time. Now we use more vocal harmonies and things as in The Everly Brothers' 'Man with Money' and the Dion numbers we do. The groups conflict over choosing material and musical policy ha…

Genuinely one of my favorite accounts on here... many's the time a @thewhothismonth.bsky.social post gave me a smile when I desperately needed one (and reminded me to put some proper tunes on!)

The incredible story of ‘Grocer Jack’ and A Teenage Opera: What happened to the lost musical? Record producer Mark Wirtz created the groundbreaking A Teenage Opera in the 1960s and released the hit 'Grocer Jack' single, but the full musical wouldn't be seen until the 2010s.

The story of the rock opera that almost beat out "Tommy" and "S.F. Sorrow" to be first.
