I'm still trying to get over "The Beatles are flippin lousy" thread from months ago. As talented as Pete Townshend is, sometimes he says things that make you wonder if his brain is connected. I guess you can ol' "Ox breath" on that list too. Oh yeah! and Hannity is still a pimp. LOL LOL!

My favorite quote about the Beatles was from Mick Jagger:

"if the Stones broke up we wouldn't be so bitchy about it."

Ah yes, Mick. But how do you define non-bitchy. Replacing the members of your group one by one, and touring till your 108. The 2013 Rolling Stones "Steel Enema" tour.

Like the Stones have even been together for the last quarter century. Doing a tour every five years does not count.

Townshend's "flippin" quote was brilliant.

Replacing the members of your group one by one, and touring till your 108. Now that I think about it, kinda describes The Who dosen't it.

Townshend is a "flippin" %@#$!*&!!!

I don't know much about what Pete Townshend does in his personal life, but I feel he's an excellent writer, great guitarist, and very much a pioneer in the art-rock scene. The Who and The Beatles were totally different, and they both made digs back at one another.

Since the '60's, Pete has some out with a lot of decent things to say about them, especially John.

Entwistle and Macca are oranges to apples. I like them both. But I don't think anyone has ever bashed the Beatles as much as they bashed each other during the '70's.

I'm glad this thread stayed right on course, was a waste of my time even going past the first post which was a good idea, what happened to it?

Here's another Stones quote...

[A Rolling Stone speaking to a Beatle]
"You know why The Beatles were better than The Rolling Stones? You guys had FOUR frontmen, and we only had ONE." - Keith Richards, speaking to George or John, I forget which.

Wow, I clicked into a fight and a Beatles forum broke out! WWJD? (What would John Do)

All You Need Is Love???

Didn't Townsend recently say he wouldn't pay to see the Who - referring to geriatric rockers?

C'mon Bob. The second post was pretty good.

Stuart:

It was a comment to Paul (within the past 2 years)
by Keith Richards as to what was "different" between their bands, not "better."
