The Kids Are Alright

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?
