Some of his bass riffs on Quadrophenia are the stuff of legend....
The quiet Who, let his instrument do the Rockin.

What a terrilbe loss...

I will be getting together with a couple of music buds tonight to blast Live At Leeds and tilt quite a few beers in his memory.

I wouldn't be surprised if Keith Moon dressed up as The Devil and decorated the Gates of Heaven to look like the other place upon John's arrival just for a prank...

Sad news, indeed. His abilities with the bass were second to none. Anyone who could keep Moon in time has to be.

I saw them do Quadrophenia in 96, and bought two tix, to take the wife to see him and Pete. I hope they have the class to cancel the touring altogether. Pete can't carry the load himself.

Bless you John and may the lord protect you.
