The interesting dynamic in this song is the contrast between Daltrey's swaggering rock-god delivery and Entwistle's neurotic lyric. 

But I have to admit that this track, like most of this album, just makes me sad — I bought it a few days before Moon died and when I listen now I can only hear how poor the drumming is (or, in some cases, isn't - Moon's work on this was largely discarded by the end).  .

This is an Entwistle-penned tune that Roger sang. How many of those are there?

meh.

This song has below average written all over it. And, BTW way Roger, if you have to ask, no, you weren't. {#Rolleyes}

I am ashamed to say I don't remember this song, but yea, Roger's voice is GREAT on it.

I hear ya. Keith's last album if I'm not mistaken, and not a great one. It had a few moments but overall I think it's safe to say this was the beginning of the end.

I so hope they don't embarrass themselves tomorrow in the super bowl.

strange to hear this at 602 AM EST (deja vu). in 1978, i would play this side of the album (side 2) while getting ready for school right about at this time of the morning.

Disappointing really... it does have the classic properties of a Who song, although it feels strangely empty.

IMHO there are much better rarities and b-sides that RP could play from The Who.

BTW I love The Who.  I saw them live in Sydney this year (2009) and was blown away by the energy and finesse of both Roger and Pete.

I don't ever remember this!    WOW!   I like it.  I recognized Roger's voice from the other room.   Nice!

Wow!  Forgot about this song entirely, I used to love it when I played this album non-stop back in the day!  Thanks, Bill!
