Yeah, but lots of people use "whom" for emphasis rather than grammar.

No, lots of people use "whom" to be pretentious rather than grammatical.

I don't know. Who would? And to whom would such a comment be directed, and
whom would be annoyed by it? ;}

Sad to hear it. However, both Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are supposed
to be pretty healthy guys, so we'll probably still have them around for a
while.
I'll be really bummed whet Townshend dies. I think he's one of the people
who'll be remembered as significant composers in the 20th century.

Keith Richards was never in The Whom.

it probably won't be a member of The Whom, but some otherband from the 60's
or 70's. Keith looks like he has been dead several years anyway.

Indeed. Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons.

The Frog Brothers were wrong. Keith Richards is the Head Vampire, and he will
be killed off if and when they make Lost Boys 2.

Apparently the two surviving embers have found a replacement bass player
and the tour will continue. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

It's fairly common practice (on big national tours) to have understudy
musicians in case of an accident. Obviously you can't replace a lead singer,
but you can have other players. And I recall a story years ago about The
Police giving a show where Sting (with a heavily bandaged hand) was just lead
singer for the show.

this isn't an understudy. This is a Welsh bass guitarist who has worked with
a number of nationally recognized bands. He is also a quick study, and will
learn the music over the next few days.

Close enough to "understudy", though.
It's not like nobody ever bothered to learn any Who tunes. ;)

Between the money, exposure, and long popularity of the band's tunes,
i'd guess that there'd be plenty of well-qualified applicants available
on a moment's notice.

It was rather sweet yesterday during Delta 88's sound check, while the
Who was playing over the TOP speakers, when the two members of Delta 88
who were onstage simultaneously started playing along with "My
Generation."

From sfgate.com / San Francisco Chronicle:
"Entwistle will be replaced by British studio musician
Pino Palladino. ... Palladino played with Townshend
on his 1993 U.S. solo tour and recently backed a lineup
of rock royalty performing in honor of Queen Elizabeth's
Golden Jubilee celebration at Buckingham Palace.
A tour organizer said that Palladino had been keeping
his schedule open in case Entwistle's heart condition
caused him to miss shows on the tour."

In 'The Kids Are Allright', there's is some concert
footage from a show where Kieth Moon evidently
took some horse tranquilizers or something. As
Townshend tells the story, someone was offering
them backstage and Moon was always the one to
show off and take more, of everything.
So after a certain point he can barely play
and then he totally passes out, and it's shocking
to see him draped over the drum kit, looking
like he's dead. They carry him off and he's totally
limp.
So they ask if there's a drummer in the house,
and surprise surprise a whole bunch of drummers
queue up, and it's on with the show.
Wierd. Pete Townshend didn't seem very concerned
about his drummer's health, he seemed to feel
his music was so important.

Townshend was probably seriously pissed at Moon, and not in a mood to make
some sanctimonious comments for the camera.
Then again, the band I'm in has had a hell of time finding a drummer without
either a bad attitude, a substance abuse problem, or both, so I'm not feeling
especially generous towards drummers these days. :(

Q: What do you call somebody who acts like a musician, dresses like
a musician, hangs out with musicians, but isn't a musician?
A: A drummer.

Yeah, if he was a real musician, he'd be a percussionist.

I have always wanted to learn how to play the drums. I have to admit
though, if I were a drummer I would be the type with a bad attitude so
I wouldnt be able to help out Scott. *snort* ;)

I'd offer to help Scott (I don't abuse substances, though my
attitude is sometimes questionable), but all I play is djembe.
