I've forgotten what day it is, I put the video on pause to get a good long look into Roger's eyes and now I've forgotten what day it is. Apparently I've been here for 13 hours :0
I just read through 100 or so comments and no-one mentions the presenter raging. What the fuck? It's kind of an interesting moment in the video, don't you think (DOOII)? The conservative presenter losing his cool in the face of liberal trolling and a TV audience. Kind of fucking important to mention. Was it real or just staged? Someone here give me some clarity for fuck's sake!
@jack1141994 The presenter was Tommy Smothers, one of the most famous, and liberal, comedians of the 60's. At this point Smothers was WAY more famous than the Who. "The Smothers Bros. Show" was kicked off the air in the U.S. for being anti Vietnam war and pro counter-culture. They were subversive in various genius ways to get past the censors of the time. He is obviously going for the laughs...he is NOT genuinely upset. It was his schtick to be the confused square guy among the cool people.
I won a bet on that because someone actually thought they were actually performing the song. Kind of a huge shame and you wonder why they just didn't play the song!
@steviea427 yeah it was actually. the thing exploded right next to him and it made him deaf in one ear and as a joke Keith would always say into that ear Pete can ya hear me? and thats where Tommy can you hear me came from

Have to choke the tears back ..John, Keith..What fantastic guys..Roger and Pete...They sound innocent ...when they were introduced ..London where?.".London England".. Pete confidently responds..The truth is in the US not many knew where England was let alone London.They went on to create music history..I think they made their impact with their music..If not the smashing of speakers and guitars...certainly did - a common feature in those days..more prevalent in the US. The Junior Gods then. .
@spoonce Thanks. I din not know. i truly thank you for clearing that up. Seriously... thank you... you're a life saver....I really mean it.....from the bottoms of my heart......I'm being completely serious.
Nobody will probably read it but i need to put this comment ..Im just gonna say that i'm a 15 year old guitarist...i konw theres like 32356756 of them in Youtube and i'm not the best of them...

In any case, I didn't respond to YOU. I just read some comments where people were saying Roger had a disability, and that was utter bull. If that was a mistake, than fine. Why is it a big deal?
@7sadbeeyotsh7 I didn't understand what you wrote, learn how to write in English. now i know you will get offended and you will write back to me by saying alot of hurtful things!
