"You are forgiven..." - Pete Townsend

I'm recovering from one of those glorious r&r nights.  Stayed up late playing music at the Red Line Tap.  WWSP lives!

Here it's raining.  Three straight days of driving rain.  Is it time to start building an Ark?

A couple of posts ago, I mentioned Wes Anderson and his superb use of r&r songs in his movies.  Here's one of my all time favorites.  The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away," in "Rushmore," a movie about two friends in love with the same woman. There is the friendship, betrayal and then reconciliation. Here's the battle.

How many rock songs are about forgiveness?



And here's the Who doing the complete opus. One of their great performances.
