you, dave, and everyone he knows RSS

i am dave (E-M or L.F or FB). i am known to rock out on occasion, have a vast depth of knowledge about hockey, and am the proud bearer (barely) of a degree in political science. if you enjoy led zeppelin, craig finn, post-modernism, whiskey and good beer, have a nerd-like obsession with logical thought and laugh at things no one else really finds funny, we are probably compatible people and you will probably enjoy the blog.

The Who — My Generation

The infamous performance in which Keith Moon added three times the usual amount of explosive to the speaker stack without letting the band know… which then resulted in Pete Townsend losing 90% of his hearing (rumour has it).  His hair was blown sideways by the force..

Keith was a madman.

This is for all you kids out there who thought Michael Jackson was an entertainer. Burning your own hair off is an amateur move. Causing your bandmate to lose his hearing? That’s fuckin’ Rock ‘n’ Roll

Although Townshend claims to this day that his tinnitus didn’t originate from the Smothers Brothers incident, but from prolonged exposure to loud music over headphones.
