    As an American, it just blows me away how much amazing Rock music came (and does so presently) from the UK. And growing up listening to The Who and Led Zep has always been something to be grateful for.

    In early ‘80’s high school we thought that this song was about teenagers like us getting loaded.
    Then in the army my first sergeant told us that the song was referencing young soldiers dying in Vietnam as Baba O’Reilly was also an anti-war activist.
    The meaning for me changed but still one of the most brilliant songs from that period in rock history. 🇬🇧

    This is me and my gormless friends (dear friends to this day) at teachers college in rural Australia C. 1977 - all parties and no trousers, all hormones and no depth. But how we loved our deep and important music. I, and we, have a deep attachment to this song, and always feel so tender and vulnerable; it's our timidly bold youth, humorously naive parties and scrotally setting forth that this beautiful song encapsulates. Could Pete ever have thought of all this? Possibly not - but how dearly so many of us hold this so dearly to our hearts.

I have seen so many concerts in 53 years that some of them are just smoke. Wow, I have enjoyed the Who. What a time! I miss it now because there are no longer bands like them. They have disappeared. Why? Because teenagers have turned to techno crap that is less music and more crap. Where are the notes, the bass, the guitar? Gone, Oh well, just another old guy spouting crap. So sad.

    Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals
    I get my back into my living
    I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
    I don't need to be forgiven
    Don't cry, don't raise your eye
    It's only teenage wasteland
    Sally, take my hand, travel south crossland
    Put out the fire don't look past my shoulder
    The exodus is here, the happy ones are near
    Let's get together before we get much older
    Teenage wasteland, it's only teenage wasteland
    Teenage wasteland, oh, oh
    Teenage wasteland, they're all wasted

    I saw The Who in the late 70s, when Keith Moon was still with us. Moon and Entwistle so dominated their sound live that you would've thought they were the only ones performing. Loudest concert I've ever been to and almost all of it was the bassist running these impossibly fast lines and the drummer going nuts on his kit. Pete got in about 1 chord on his guitar for every dozen notes that John got on the bass. Roger could only yell at the top of his voice to be heard. Great show though.

      My 3 best friends and I asked our teacher to write a cheque so we could buy tickets to see The Who at The Hammersmith in 1975. We sent the payment in the 5:15 post (an omen). On the day (we bunked school) we saw Tommy The Movie at Leicester Square (my mate insists to this day he saw Kieth Moon in the loos) in the afternoon and The Who live in the evening.
      We hitch-hiked back from London to Coventry that night with some incredible people who took pity on 4 schoolboys who had obviously not thought things through and didn't care.
      An amazing day.

    The Who? Well let's see. First band to effectively use volume for other than just being loud; Invented Heavy Metal (best illustrated on "My Generation," on Live at Leeds); Demonstrated that a great rock opera was feasible (if written by a genius).
    What could they do for an encore. What could they do next?
    How about, *Who's Next*, which opens with Baba O'Riley, then Bargain, Love Ain't For Keeping', My Wife, The Song is Over, Getting' in Tune, Going Mobile, and Behind Blue Eyes. Man, that's one of the greatest rock albums ever made. Oh, then add "Won't Get Fooled Again," as the closer and what have you got?
