The Who DVD Box Set!!!

This DVD box set includes two feature films -- Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who and Amazing Journey: Six Quick Ones. I’m a sucker for music documentaries, even the ones nobody else likes. But I watched the movie with 3 of my friends—all of them liked it. The screening was followed by a lip synching party to “Pinball Wizard” and “My Generation”. Epic.

It’s amazing to hear these anthems that you just know the words to because they are so much a part of our culture. I never remember learning the words to The Who—but somehow I know them. 

The first film is made for all audiences, but the second film, Six Quick Ones, is for the super fans. There are interviews with Noel Gallagher and Eddie Vedder, plus incredible footage from the bands early years. Keith Moon was seriously hot. The old footage is a fascinating look at their music but also an inside look at the fashion, politics and culture of the time. Did you know that...they almost named the band The Hair and The Who, they were banned from Holiday Inns worldwide and at 17 Roger Daltrey was the king of the neighborhood? The DVD is full of stuff like this.

That's me with Pete Townsend and Rachel Fuller at South By Southwest this year. I see this picture and it feels like its fake, a Pete and Rachel cardboard cutout. But I actually got to meet them. Surreal.
