That was bowling.
If you steer clear of quality, you're alright.
John [Entwistle] and I were listening to a stereo L.P. of The Beatles|The Beatles in which the voices come out of one side and the backing track comes out of the other. And when you actually hear the backing tracks of The Beatles without their voices, they're flippin' lousy.
My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.
We became rich later than I expected. Now I'm too old to enjoy my money.
I think that if John could choose a way to die, it would be just the way it really was.
I hope I die before I get old
It's only teenage wasteland
