The sad state of journalism.

I remember when I was assigned to review a special edition Tommy DVD (speaking of The Who) and it ended up that it was released right when Townshend got arrested for accessing a pedophile porn website. Anyway, I turned in my review, which (given my approach to film criticism) centered on the film as a Ken Russell film and put it in the context of current musical films (Chicago, Moulin Rouge). My editor demanded! that I rewrite the review to make mention of the Townshend arrest!?!? I was so offended. I tried to do it with integrity. But when I reprinted the review in my book I erased all that nonsense.

Anyway... as for the significant issue here re: Jeremy Spencer's "missing" albums: the inference from the article is that there are a bunch of unreleased albums, but maybe there are just songs and demos? Either way: no wonder there's enough material for a double album(?). Hope the rap song makes the cut

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
