My thoughts: It's not that the Who didn't live up to "...hope I die before I get old." It's that they DID live up to their album entitled "The Who Sell Out". Whether it was the Broadway-ization of Tommy (anyone who saw it knows what I mean) or selling soft drinks or E-Trade on TV, Pete seemed not only to sell out quietly, but with relish. That's what eats at me, a long time fan, the most.

Just guessin' - I personally love 'em no matter what they do - but Pete's
ad a history of making grand public statements then changing his mind,
aybe leave's himself open for a little extra flamin' occasionally - but
hat's just who he is for better or worse. Again - it's nothing that's ever
iminished me enjoying their music over the years.

I think the mocking started after the "farewell" tours.
