THE QUIETED ONE

(6-27-12)  WHY CAN'T WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE,AND NEVER DIE..R.I.P. JOHN ALEC ENTWISTLE, who died this day in 2002. RON ASHETON and DAVE ALEXANDER both dropped out of high school together and traveled to London, hoping to see The BEATLES. Instead they saw The WHO live in a small club. One can imagine the impression that Entwistle's fret-work made on the future STOOGE bassists. In fact, when RON got "demoted" to bass for RAW POWER he became the best practitioner of that instrument since The OX himself.
  I saw The WHO's first show without JOHN and it was the most emotionally charged ROCK N'ROLL show I had ever been to..until The STOOGE'S Palladium gig. It was a fitting memorial for ENTWISTLE, and sad truth be told, for The WHO, too...
