Who are you?

Joe - you'll get a lot more replies I am sure when the new format for OGR arrives in February. Why don't you repost your question then?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
The policeman knew my name
He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
I staggered back to the underground
The breeze blew back my hair
I remembered throwing punches around
And preachin' from my chair



Sorry - I couldn't help myself.

I don't get your poem..So lets see the real Mr. Burfle.

That was the first thing that I though of myself.
The people who don't get it are probably too old, too young or don't watch CSI

Sorry, but I'm in the witless protection program...

Joe, nice picture. You'd look even better sitting in your beautiful '65 Malibu.

LOL, I don't.
While that song is not one of my favorites, I do like The Who.

eddie,

It's from The Who's 'Who are you' album that was release in 1978.

Then



And Now




This is my wife Olga and I

I'd post pictures of myself on the internet but I might be famous one day and I don't want it to come back and haunt me.
Oh right!!! That went out the window with Kim Kardashian

Here you go .At my daughter's wedding with my better half.
Best I could do.

I only have baby pictures of myself. The rest all got destroyed in the Blizzard of '88.

I think the biggest reason that most of us no longer show a picture, or even home town, is the threats and fights on here. Since someone on here showed up in a another members town looking to kick his rear I have thought it wise to remove identifying information.

Oh, your picture is Burt Lancaster? I thought it was Telly Savalas.

Here I am with part of a Marx Tinplate 10005 train. I received it for my birthday last year. The Marx train and I are about the same age!

Hmmmmm. Arthur - a rather unique resemblance to Mr. Bean. Wouldn't you say?

Say,

Isn't that the name of the Who's breakout album in the 70's?

I'm on the left:

Didn't have one handy, but I was able to get this one off the post office wall:

Hi, I thought that I would share a nice The Who memory. Years ago I was working a spotlight at The Who concert held in the Cow Palace in South San Francisco. The drummer, Keith Moon, wasn’t able to make it to the stage. The other band members pulled a guy out of the audience to drum for them---he did a fine job. Jim

Well..... The title song "who are you" and "squeezebox" did get quite a bit of airplay.

A bit of triva: The record company produced a sanitized version of the entire album, the difference being the song "Who Are You" had it's expletives eliminated. A friend from a radio station gave me their copy, because the radio station decided they would only play the unedited version.
Picture disks were also big at that time. I have the picture disk too.

While that song is not one of my favorites, I do like The Who.

Then you should have seen it performed live with a full orchestra backing them up. The twirling violas were a sight to see!

That would be "Who's Next".

There for a minute I thought that was Cullen Bohannon but he was only worth 250 bucks

Is that really TRUE???!! Wow....I take back anything I ever said to anybody here!

If that's the case, what a sad, sad commentary. One more reason why I seriously doubt there will ever be, say, peace in the Middle East! LOL If we can't engage in friendly banter about toy trains without getting the urge to beat the s**t out of someone, then how in the world are people ever supposed to have rational, peaceful, lasting consensus on matters that are so much more serious, important and hyper-sensitive.

btw, was anyone else as horrified as I was back then when that WHo song was released? I mean, the brilliant group that produced such seminal stuff as I Can See for Miles, and the amazing albums like Tommy, Who's NExt and Quadrophenia, reduced to a song with bird-call like noises (Who- Who...Who Who) as the hook!! yeeesh...I do hope I die "before I get old!"

This is the only picture of myself that I have.

quote:

Agreed. I just took a look at the Album's track list. I was mistaken about Squeezebox. That song is from "Who by Numbers". Looking at the track list for these two albums, I can see why I didn't play them much.
IMHO, Quadrophenia was a masterpiece, and their last album worth hearing.

With all this "Who" talk swirling, a little love for the most under rated band ever is in order:

I guess he couldn't play "Tasty" . . . .

Me and my much better half (and our little Dachsund too).

My favorites: "Baba O'Reily", "We Won't get fooled again", "Eminence Front", "Behind Blue Eyes."

"We Won't Get Fooled Again" has lyrics as powerful as the instrumentation and precise execution. Pete Townsend did an acoustic version which I'm trying to track down.

Gee, in this world of identity theft, I guess we'll be seeing all of
these on multiple drivers' licenses and passports. How many of
you didn't know you were a twin, much less a quintuplet, and is that Tehran stamped on that passport?...hard to tell with the Arabic script. People are probably calling for plastic surgery appts. right now.

I bought "Who's Next" when it first came out on 8-track tape (lol). I just
wanted one song off it ("Won't Get Fooled Again") that I'd heard on FM radio.
Turned out I would love every cut on that album, something I've not said since
then about any other album.

HOPPY

Wow did this thread ever go sideways off track....Joe looks like we'll have to wait for the new format to get lots of photo results...LOL

Why would I post my photo? Oh wait, I already do with every post. See?
