I AM SO ANGRY!
I am so angry!!! I've heard, and from many people, that The Who is gonna be performing today at halftime during the Superbowl! That. Is. A. LIE! My family and I Googled it, and they gave the halftime slot to the Black Eyed Peas, of all people! In past years, it's been Sir Paul, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and so couldn't they have followed up with the Animals, or SOMETHING?!?!?!?!? ANGER!

Please, Look Past the Oufits!!!
Sorry for posting about three-four times a day today, but I was just watching the Who on YouTube, and a thought struck me. I remembered how, just the other night, I had showed my friend The Who singing "My Generation" on YouTube, and she was so blinded by the flamboyancy of their clothes and Roger's hair, that she didn't notice the creative genius behind the song, or even listen to the lyrics! And this morning, I was watching "Pinball Wizard" and "Behind Blue Eyes", and realized just how blindsided some prejudiced some people are! Please, oh readers, please look past the clothes, crass attitudes, and abundance of insanely curly blond hair, and LISTEN. Notice the music, the lyrics. Watch Pete Townshend and John Entwistle kill guitar and bass solos! Look at Keith Moon and Zak Starkey (but mostly KEITH!!) rock out on totally wicked drum solos! Laugh when Roger Daltrey struts around stage, trying to look cool but failing! And above all else, enjoy the music. Please. These three songs that I'm including links for have helped give us music as we have it now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUqRZkR8dE (this one's "Pinball Wizard")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utpjQFBuQQM (and this one's "My Generation")
These videos are from all different times in the history of The Who. "My Generation" and "Pinball Wizard" are from pretty early on, and "Behind Blue Eyes", which is also my favorite, is from a concert in 1979.
Please, look past the fringe, the screams, the annoying attitudes, and enjoy the music!!! Let it take you on a journey to experience what most people miss out on in life. If you like these songs, and you better!, then here are some more to look up:
"The Kids Are Alright"
"Bargain"
"You Better You Bet"
"Who Are You"
"Magic Bus"
"Baba O'Riley"
"Won't Get Fooled Again"
ENJOY!!!

My Name
I've decided that you all should know my real name. It may come as a shock to you, because it's not what you expect. My real name is... (drumroll please)............. LINDA MCCARTNEY!!!! haha Fooled you!!!!!
Seriously though, Paul McCartney is amazing. I'd rather see him live in concert than anyone else. Even The Who. Well, maybe not, cuz Roger Daltrey is still hot, and Paul is so... Not. Not anymore, at least.
Here's a list of what I spend my time doing:
Researching the Beatles and the Who.
Everyone, Roger Daltrey's birthday is coming up!!! It's March 1st!!!!! Send him lots of cards, like I am gonna!!!!!

IDK what to write about
Hi.
I'm only writing this so Zombieman13 will stop yelling at me to update. I do, however, have an interesting idea for an alter ego of my own, like Ribco...
All I'm gonna tell you is that she's 5 foot 6 inches, has long red hair, green eyes, and her name is Cordelia. Yeah, I totally stole that from Anne of Green Gables. Whatever, I still think Anne is the ultimate heroine of literature ever. Such a kindred spirit.
No, seriously, I am formulating ideas for my own alter ego. Coming, coming, coming, got it! It's a guy, is that weird? We have the same opinions on a lot of stuff, though, and that's why he's my alter ego. His name is, well, I have no clue. Comment on my blog and help me name my unnamed alter ego.

Dear Maggie-
Dear Maggie,
How are you? We're not so well, but we'll get better as time goes by. We miss you a lot. This morning, I got out of bed and swore I heard that little bell that you always have on your collar. I jumped back into bed and started crying. It turns out that the "bell" was just the sound of the second hand on my watch ticking. "Tick tick tick tick tick," turned into, because of my twisted and warped mind, "Jingle jingle jingle jingle silence "Mom! The cat's bell fell off again!!!"." It was epic. NOT. It also made me think, though. It made me wonder what you're up to, and if you've met Lady Linda and Keith Moon yet. If you have, tell Lady Linda I am extremely jealous of her, and tell Keith that, "Man! Your drumming is SICK! Like, in "Won't Get Fooled Again"!!!!!" Also tell Keith that he's still got a fangirl in me. (If you don't know what a fangirl is, ask my friend urFACE.) Love you!
Gertrude
Wow. Looky here. I somehow managed to turn a really sad letter to my cat into an opportunity to obsess over a long-dead hot British "rock star". I reallllllllly don't wanna say "Fail" right now, but I can't think of a more appropriate word, so fail.
