Anyone else read this? I got a copy for Christmas and should finish it tonight.. Very quick read.. I wouldn't say I was a huge Who fan but Who's Next was in regular rotation during my high school years as was Tommy. I gotta say I learned quite a few things from his story... Several threads this year have dealt the whole question of where is the money made.. touring vs. album release.. it's obvious from Roger's take on The Who's touring years.. they never made any money.. now I'll grant you there were a lot of "extra" expenses with Keith's propensity to destroy things along the way.. but they got ripped off from there manager and others who handled the money.. Pete obviously made out quite well since he wrote most of the material.. Nevertheless a sad story in many ways but an all too familiar one unfortunately.. I forget which rocker in the last few years when asked to give advice to bands just starting out what should they do first.. "Understand business, take some financial classes.. etc"..
