Amazing Journey


Went to the premiere of the Who's Amazing Journey a while back. Enjoyed the film a lot and it was very moving toward the end. Another thing that moved was a card poster advertising the film. It was originally strapped to the fence keeping the riff-raff out, but i liberated it and got uncle Roger to sign it for me. I think you may be able to make it out in the top, left corner. It says: to delbut -Roger Daltrey. He wanted to put kisses on it but i said: No Rog, we are grown men, leave it out. Uncle Pete avoided me by nipping out of a side fire escape. He realy is doing a good job of hiding his love for me.


I did have my eye on a 6 foot-tall, free-standing cardboard advertising thingy but my wife correctly pointed out that a) we'd never get it out of the building unseen and b) just supposing we used the same fire escape as Pete and did get it out with my nuts in tact, we'd struggle to get on the tube train. Good point, i thought.


There were a few other "stars" there but if they are not in the Who, they can fuck off.

Crazy man.
You could open a museum of all your Who memorabelia! (however you spell it).
NICE work on the poster. Good thing you left the giant cardboard thingy behind because I am not sure how good the internet access is in prison. :)

Pete and his eminence front. It's a put on. Some day he'll come clean Del, I just know it.

A fire escape. hm. See what he does to avoid being upstaged? I would have expected at least a minor confrontation, what with you having been almost taken in hand by his woman!

:o)

Nice little write up! Made me smile.

Cool that Kubichick (sp?) won coach of the year - even after spygate!

Lawro predicts a win for your Hammers tomorrow! Not that you care what HE predicts.

Kubachick is a Wholigan!

Oh gawd.
I need a 12 step internet addiction program.

Oh on a serious note- Molly has a new post about Kid Ric. He had lung cancer - but he didn't want to tell us and make us all sad and bummed out.

:(

Damn, I was feeling bouncy until I read the final comment. I'd have liked to have said au revoir to Kid Ric. He was an inspiration and an encouragement. He pushed and pulled me on.
