    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

    The prompt is Forever

    Billy Nichols, “Forever’s No Time at All” from Pete Townshend’s “Who Came First” 1972

    I recall reading that after dropping acid and getting the feeling that he wasn’t in his body, #PeteTownshend went searching for something more. He became a follower of the teachings of Indian guru Meher Baba, sprinkling references in #TheWho's output and, with fellow-devotee chums, recording a couple of albums in his honor.

    For Who Came First, regarded as his first solo release (get the cover pic pun?🥚), he took some tracks from those albums, tweaked some of his Lifehouse demos, and recorded some additional tracks. It’s all Pete except for a #RonnieLane track with Pete on guitar, and the Billy Nichols track where Pete doesn’t appear at all.

    I love this album despite its demo-y feel (or maybe "because of,” in a pre-Scoop world?) because it's Pete; ironically I’m featuring its one Pete-free track, but it's a good one.

    The word is New

    #PeteTownshend and #RonnieLane, “Heart to Hang Onto,” from Rough Mix,1977

    Lyric:
    “Give me a heart to hang onto
    Give me a soul that's tailored new
    Give me a heart to hang onto
    A heart to hang onto”

    While this album is a joint project by Pete and Ronnie (Faces, #SmallFaces), #Townshend fans regard it as Pete's solo album, with interruptions. Here we find Pete storytelling, not with the bombastic stylings of #RockOpera or stiff #RadioPlay but on a human scale in a series of verse-sized vignettes.

    While no one would compare Ronnie Lane’s homespun vocals with #RogerDaltry’s #RockGod delivery, Pete uses the interplay of his vocals with Lane’s similarly to the way he trades off vocals in #TheWho, Townshend’s thin, high voice speaking in the vulnerable first person.

    After glimpses of these lonely lives, the poignant melody gives way to a crescendo of desperation, drifting away unresolved in a twinkling of keys.
