Wait a minute - WHO sold everybody this white elephant?

Who exactly. Daltrey himself in those late night infomercials about 
Time-Life classic rock collections. Designed to replace all those 
"scratchy old records" with great sounding CDs.

Talk about working both sides of the street!

And someone doesn't understand the definition of the term 
"supergroup" - and doesn't know that The Who's biggest years were the 
1970s. Oh well, par for the course.
