The Kids Are Alright Page #2

such as, you know, breaking up rooms,

driving his car into swimming pools,

driving his car into foyers.

Well, I'm not going to tell you

about any of that.

You know, I'm just here to tell you

about the Keith I know and love,

you know?

Keith, what's your opinion

of your public image?

I think it sort of varies

with every record I put out.

I think sometimes...

Could you get on with it?

Will you keep it together?

No, I think I'm very reliant

on my management

and my public relations people.

This country is in a weird, feeble,

grotesque state,

and it's about time it got out of it,

And the on... the reason

it could get out of it is rock music.

And I think The Towns...

and The Who, Roger Daltrey,

Entwistle, Moon,

could rise this country

out of its decadent, ambient state

more than Wilson

and those crappy people

could ever hope to achieve!

What about the little singer?

What's your opinion of him?

Well, I think

he does a damn good job out there.

Personally, I mean,

I wouldn't go out there

up front with nothing to protect me

but a small microphone,

but he manages to revolve it so fast

that when people do throw things,

he gets sort of desiccated eggs

and sliced tomato.

I turn my cymbals up this way

So that at the end of the night

I have a salad mixed.

I just sprinkle some salt

and some Italian seasoning on it,'

and that sort of ends up

my evening here.

There are some elements

in the story line...

the image in the mirror,

the pinball,

and the sensibility in general.

See me, feel me,

touch me, heal me.

Which reflect in a certain sense

the phenomenon of youth subculture.

There is narcissism.

There is a kind of new sensibility

as a strong tendency

for playing up things

and no more putting it into

aggressive forms of counter-action.

- It's. ..

- Yeah.

Thank you

Good.

Thank you.

Because that was the end of the '60s.

That seemed to sum up

an awful lot about rock.

It was the time when you were

a great star of Woodstock.

Woodstock itself was one of the

biggest pop events in world terms

because of the film that masses

and millions of people have seen.

And it was a marvelous thing

in its way.

But just as a matter of interest,

what do you think it changed?

What was different after it?

What did that generation,

all those people,

given the same high by the same thing,

yourself in turn...

what did it change?

I'm just interested to know.

Well, it changed me. I hated it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

The Who.

You have to resign yourself to the fact

that a large part of the audience

ls sort of thick, you know,

and don't appreciate quality,

however much

you try and put it over.
