live at leeds specifically

now i do not mean to imply that any members of the who are or were secretly transmasc. HOWEVER

Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand

One girl was called Jean-Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally-Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy

My name is Bill and I'm a headcase
They practice making-up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair

I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am I get it

    that sucks but it's not surprising. i just think it's very funny/cool that listening to the who might have lead some dude to discover himself back in 1970

    im not a massive massive fan of the who but i listen to them a fair bit

    (also idk what's up but this comment only shows up in my inbox but not on the actual post)

      If the comment got removed good riddance lmao.

      I like the new lore for I'm A Boy a lot, the song on its own is pretty rad even if Quads probably would have done something stupid with it. You only get the odd post about it because the cross section between insufferable boomers and internet trans people is pretty low.

      I wish I could unlearn all the stuff I know about the Who agony-wholesome

          Won't Get Fooled Again woulda been a weird endcap to Lifehouse, which was basically an album about classic POWER OF ROCK N ROLL and MUSIC UNITES THE PEOPLE MAAAN stuff, suffice it to say it probably doesn't bear thinking about Townshend's political tendencies. Shame since he's prone to writing real beautiful lil lines...

          I kinda like how the Who as a project is basically four total assholes who hate eachother to death, and once a year they'd just barely tolerate eachother in the studio to produce some of the hardest bangers you have ever heard. Quadrophenia is the goat d@m
