“The photographs by Art Kane, were taken at the foot of Grant’s Tomb , with the group draped in a giant Union Jack, apparently feigning sleep. Except that they weren’t: All of them were exhausted from Keith’s activities the previous night and the changing of hotels in the middle of it; they had to be awakened at the end of the shoot”

(Note: they were kicked out of their hotel the night before because Keith had been throwing cherry bombs out his window at the police after he had  blown up his room’s toilet, destroying the plumbing on the entire floor)

YOUR BASSIST LOOKS LIKE A GIRL

[townhsend]

““In Ealing, John Entwistle was talking to a group of Irish journalists when he was summoned to the telephone. Pete gave him the news, which greatly shook John, the most reserved of the band but also the one who was in many ways closest to Keith, playing with him in the intimate way that bassists and drummers must share, his roommate in the beginning. Pete was understanding but asked that John avoid telling the interviewers, if possible. Keith’s mother had not yet been informed. (His father had died only a few weeks before.) Kim and Mandy Moon also hadn’t been told. John went back to the interviewers and sat down, resuming the conversation as calmly as he could. But when one of them asked him about the group’s future plans, he couldn’t hold back any longer. Entwistle, the stolid ox, burst into tears, confessing that the Who could not know their future because Keith Moon was dead.””

who fandom john entwistle: the calm cool collected member of the group who didnt put up with shenanigans and was a goth macabre quiet guy

actual john entwistle: spent all his paychecks at harrods, smashed a bass so he could create a frankenbass, blew up toilets with keith, didnt fit in the famous skeleton suit so for that whole day he couldnt sit down lest he rip the suit, didnt have a drivers licence but owned a bentley for his dog (accurately named fits perfect), had a train room, collected suits of armor, did deep sea fishing and mounted them up in his mansion, went into such bad debt (twice) that the who had to go on tour to get him out of it, and jumped off an 8ft tall stage and destroyed his $1300 alembic bass while performing because daltrey told him to play quieter

How Mick Avory was trolled in a gay way

In his "X-Ray" autobiography, Ray Davies describes Mick Avory joining the band:

"Avory spoke in a deep south London accent as he struggled into the room carrying his own drums. Dave and Pete, who were standing on the little rehearsal platform in the corner of the room, were both dressed in plastic capes, tight black trousers and Cuban heels. Quaife, who had by now been groomed by some of the more camp hairdressers in Carnaby Street, quietly suggested that Avory looked like a 'beautiful butch beast'. Unfortunately, Avory both heard this and took it seriously.

'I've got a girlfriend,' Avory said in his deep, flat drone. Quaife continued the wind-up. 'So've I, love. Don't mean to say that we all don't bend from time to time.'

Dave joined in and started laughing and coughing in a high-pitched feminine voice. I jumped in: 'Put your drums down there, dear, and don't mark the floor, I've been on my knees scrubbing it all afternoon!'

Avory did not see any humour in this situation. We introduced ourselves to him in a limp-wristed way and continued to camp it up until we started playing. [...]

After the rehearsal was over, Dave, Pete and I all reverted to talking in high-pitched voices. Avory thought he was on safer ground by directing his conversation towards Robert and Grenville [managers]. He was concerned about being in a group who wore plastic capes and leather caps and asked if we were sexual deviants. I was never clear whether he considered this to be a good or a bad thing.

'Tell me, will I have to dress up like them?' Avory inquired.

'Undoubtedly so,' replied Grenville, as he cocked his eyebrow and put on a stern face to accompany the Mayfair Droop. Robert joined in as if Avory wasn't there. 'He'll also have to grow his hair, what?'

Avory mumbled half to himself as he started to pack up his drum kit, 'I'll 'ave to think about it and ask my girlfriend if it's all right. I'll let you know in a few days.' He stopped at the door as he left. 'I enjoyed playing with you. The music, I mean.'

'The feeling's mutual, love,' Quaife pouted back and held out his hand as if he expected Avory to kiss it. Avory groaned and, after shaking hands with all of us, slowly backed out of the room."

Mick Avory was battling demons during his entire tenure with The Kinks and the demons were homosexuality
