THE WHO LETS EVERYBODY WRITE! We’re back to talking about songs with words and this week we’ve brought along Kasy Elkington (Cattle Axe, New Ancient Astronauts) to talk about his least favorite album by his most favorite band, The Who. Who’s idea was it to force Roger and Keith to write songs when they didn’t want to and didn’t need to? How many rock operas has Pete Townshend written? What percentage of Who fans were initially drawn to the band by Ann-Margaret’s appearance in the film version of “Tommy”? Did anyone in this band their instrument in the normal way? How many songs did Kenny Jones write? Why do so many white British rock bands gravitate towards covering Motown? Could anyone in 1966 tell the difference between the Keith’s, Jon’s, Pete’s and Roger’s voices? We’ll try to figure out just Who these guys think they are on this week’s Detours and Outliers.
