I came upon the Who right about that very time. Quadrophenia being my fave. It's on my playlist to this day. Tommy is 2nd fave. Seeing them is on my bucket list, but probably not economically feasible now with a cancer diagnosis. Always had a crush on Roger. Thanks for the good memory.
Dear Mr.Rather, Truly you are a Renaissance Man! You make me smile and believe in goodness.I am sending you BLessings and Peaceful thoughts. Peace, Carol
LOVE the Who (wished I had seen them live but never got the chance that some of my friends did) But yeah they did a "TON" of albums and have many of them. The music is ROCK at it's best and will live in infamy.
Yet, we know very little about pedophilia. Pedophilia does not necessarily involve sexual abuse of children. Some men are attracted to children and merely acknowledge their attraction without acting on it. Scientists and medical researchers have not reached a consensus about the causes of this condition. The traditional debate about causation follows the nature versus nurture discussion. Some researchers are investigating genetic factors, while others are exploring social causes, such as family issues or past sexual assault.
As a psychologist, I tend to seek a broader perspective, and I try to understand all sexual identities and how we develop our personal identity, including our sexual orientation. I believe it is a mistake to focus on just one orientation and ignore others, especially when considering the scientist who suggested that genetics determines all our behavior, implying that nothing else matters in shaping who we are. This idea is difficult for me to accept because people are vastly different, and genes are specifically directed. I haven't found any studies that document a social orientation supporting the development of a particular sexual orientation.
Two observations by well-known scientists are particularly important to me: one concerns the reading readiness period in child development, and the other is Carlo Rovelli’s discussion of time as a theoretical physicist. Children aged 4 to 7 can easily learn languages and social skills, often acquiring two languages during this period. After this window closes, learning a second language typically requires more detailed instruction. The development of social skills during this time exceeds our understanding, as a child transitions from a blank slate to possessing remarkable abilities. I see this period as the intersection of two sources of development: one inherited through genes, and the other shaped by society. Consider a mother who was pregnant and moved to a different location, such as South America or Iceland, realizing her child would be different from what it would have been if she stayed in the original place. I think about the overwhelming number of factors influencing this child. Carlo Rovelli points out that time is not constant; it can be expansive or compressed, and it can flow faster or slower. For instance, in space travel, time moves more slowly than it does on Earth. Einstein articulated this idea through his theories of relativity.
Why are these two facts important to understanding sexual identity? What if there's a period in a child's development when time feels expansive, allowing the child to absorb large amounts of social stimulation or information? What if, during this time, sexual orientation is formed? I mean all types of orientation: male-female, male-male, female-female, male-child, or male-boy. Why do we try to identify the cause of a pedophile as being different from other sexual orientations? Are we thinking that our genetic coding, and nothing else, solely determines all behaviors? Can we consider that during this period, all sexual orientations develop? Until adolescence, we shape our personality based on our environment, family, neighborhood, and immediate friends—those connected by where we live and who we are. I ask people to reflect on their closest friends during adolescence and consider how these relationships impacted their personality development. Often, these relationships are like yin-yang—complementary parts of a whole—and they help shape each person's identity.
The discussion of a person's sexual identity must respect the complicated process of formation of each of us in our world, and with our genetic composition.
Why don’t you all wake up?
Roger Daltrey's voice has deepened with age. Make him sound more bluesy. His 2014 collaboration with Wilko Johnson was proof.
Yes, one of their great tunes!
I also liked “I can see for miles!” — written by Townsend & was his fav - charted highest in U.S.
TOWNSHEND. This is not the RAF officer who had a quick one with Princess Margaret.

Good luck with that! You can beat it ! 💐
Yes, that tousled head of curly hair is quite something!
That was a fun trip. Husband over my shoulder, "what has happed to the world?" Thanks, Dan. Happy Sunday. 🙏
DALTREY! Spell it right, for Pete's sake.

The music is what spurred on the generation and this is what we need these days. Not the things I hear on the radio these days.
The music had a beat that got us up and moving, protesting, and making things happen.
We NEED this today for the younger gen that is dealing with TRUMP
Let's make sure that we Don't Get Fooled Again.

Thanks, great memories for me and for all that want to listen. Yes, the words we use matter.

I have several of their singles on vinyl!
Thank you, Dan.
IMHO Roger's primal scream on "Won't Get Fooled Again" is the greatest on any recording ever.
What an experience it would be to sit and interview him. Thank you for sharing, Dan.
