The Who are the great survivors of British rock
music - still together after ten years at the top.
That in itself is unique. Even more remarkable, The
Who were the first British group to make people take
rock music seriously, first with songs that told
story, and then with the world's first rock opera,
"Tommy", now filmed by Ken Russell. Each of them has
developed separate careers - Townshend as a writer,
Entwistle and Daltrey as solo performers, and Moon
with film appearances in "That'll Be The Day" and
"Stardust" - and yet remained a potent force in rock
music, producing their second major work,
"Quadrophenia".
This book tells you how it all happened...what
brought them together...how they survived
catastrophe and crisis...how they conquered the
States...what "Tommy" has meant to their lives. It
is.......THE WHO!
