Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

 

From "My Generation", the song that launched thre Who:

 

People try to put us down

Just because we get around

Things they do seem awful cold

Hope I die before I get old!

 

Although Roger Daltrey was the vocalist, Townshend wrote the lyric. And he didn't die before he got old, ublike all too many fo his friends (including Who drummer Kieth Moon).

The third line is "They say do look awful cold" and the next "hope I die before I get old" is not a negative line, but Pete is making a postive statement. It's saying "that things are so great now that they can't get any better". I read that interpretation from Pete himself which took some getting used to.

 

And I agree that Moonie died prematurely. The anniversary of the day he died is 10 days away.
