  • We found this pile of paper
    Written by that ether man
    He hatched a mad old caper
    He had a mad old plan

    He'd turn us into music
    He'd show us to our portals
    He gathered wire and angels
    To entertain immortals

  • Dan from Orlando, FlOf coarse there are parallels but none bigger than Tea and Theatre! LOVE that song!
  • S from San Gabriel, CaMichael, nobody's voice is as good at 65 as it was at 45. Daltrey's voice can't do everything he'd like it to do, but it's not shot.
    He sounded great at the VH-1 Honors concert and he sounded even better when The Who played the Nokia Theater in L.A.
    Joe Cocker, Mick Jagger, Macca, Bono... none of them can do everything they used to, but it isn't time for any of them to hang it up yet.
  • Mike from Boston, MaMichael, listen to Mike Post Theme (also from 2006's Endless Wire) and then tell us whether or not you feel the 64-year-old Daltrey's voice is shot.
  • Michael from Oxford, EnglandWhy the hell doesn't anybody admit that Roger Daltrey's voice is shot? Let's face it, if the band had wanted to preserve the man's vocal cords, they shouldn't have played "Won't Get Fooled Again" in every concert since the release of Who's Next. "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" indeed.
  • Chris from Nc, CtI totally agree, the parallel of "Unholy Trinity" being Pete, Keith, and John (Why Roger isn't included remains a mystery) and also the line "people died where I performed" from They Made My Dream Come True reminds me of the tragedy in Cincinnati when 11 people were crushed from the mob trying to get into the concert.
  • Lukas from Long Island, NyThe Who have denied that this song is about the bands personal history, but you have to admit, there are a lot of parallels.
  • Colin from New Egypt, NjThe best songs on Wire & glass are Sound Round and We got a hit
