br. Gli Who sono una delle più importanti band nella storia del rock: innovativi, creativi, devastanti e distruttivi, ma allo stesso tempo profondi e intensi. Il cantante Roger Daltrey ha dato voce e immagine al modello del rock singer. La follia creativa del batterista Keith Moon, le schitarrate e gli esperimenti ai synth di Pete Townshend, nonché il virtuosismo del bassista John Entwistle hanno contribuito a costruire un'entità rock di rara potenza. Tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e l'inizio dei Settanta, The Who, grazie alle qualità compositive e alla profondità come autore di Townshend, agli arrangiamenti e alle esecuzioni vocali e musicali, hanno pubblicato quattro album - tommy, who's next, live at leeds e quadrophenia - che sono diventati pietre miliari nella storia della musica. I filmati delle performance al Monterey Pop Festival, a Woodstock, e all'Isle of Wight Festival hanno contribuito a immortalarli per sempre nel ruolo di dèi della musica. Questo libro, intitolato come una canzone della band, celebra il mito inossidabile degli Who con uno sguardo al contesto sociale e musicale. Il volume è arricchito dalle testimonianze dei fan italiani e da alcuni contenuti esclusivi: una chiacchierata informale con Kenney Jones (ex componente degli Who), una testimonianza di John Dalton (bassista dei Kinks) e un'intervista a Simon Townshend (fratello di Pete e membro della Who Touring Band).
