The Who's your Daddy... rolling stone

July 29, 2008

It's Tuesday and time to pick a clip from YouTube to ponder.

Now, I want to be clear about one thing. I don't know shit about YouTube. I'll give you two quick examples of what I mean (as if it wasn't already apparent).

First, this "YouTubesday" bit is anything but original. I'm not ripping off anyone else's idea deliberately (like a hundred other jackasses, it came to me all on my own - check out the big brain on Potsy), but there are plenty of other blogfolk who have done this same thing. But no matter, I'll march down the well beaten path.

Example two: I literally learned of this RickRolling thing just this past Thursday. I confess that it was a bikini clad woman that led me astray. But it was while I was doing research for this post. So you see? I learned something already.

I'm exceedingly good at wasting time, but rarely does it involve clicking through YouTube videos. But that's all about to change. I'm about to waste endless hours - all for my own personal entertainment/education/lack of significant other, child, or pet.

We'll start simply this week. My selection for YouTubesday is in celebration of The Who and their November 3rd concert at the Verizon Center (for which tix went on sale to the general public this past week). Rock Club is about rock, not just about the indie band scene, and I want to see The Who in concert before any more of them die. Or before I do.

This is a cover of Derek Martin's 1954 record.

Will they live up to my expectations? I'm trying to keep my expectations relatively low, but no doubt I'll have ants in my pants by November 2nd. Which reminds me... I wish this concert were a day earlier. It'd give me a good reason to wear this shirt again...
