together group, are you not?
Well, not together.
What strains that you have suffered
together, if at all?
Seems it's just beginning.
It's such a long story.
Should I start...
Start at the beginning.
We started off as...
I must admit that the fantastic
thing about The Who
is that we are all incredibly nasty.
You are or were?
Were. I mean, we still were.
