revved up teenage head @quarter-inch-cable - Tumblr Blog

Hi, I'm a big fan of your Who fic and I hope it wouldn't be too impolite to ask...Do you mind sharing your thoughts on why you orphaned "The Day I Can Control Myself" series on AO3? And would it bother you if your readers publicly attribute this work to you?

Thank you, Anon, that’s very kind of you and I appreciate it so much! I’m fond of the work I did on that one and I only orphaned it as a matter of social media hygiene. I prefer to keep my fanfic authorship siloed from my other internet presences. I have no problem with you crediting me as the writer under this Tumblr account. I just didn’t want the AO3 handle in question to bear that association, because in combination with the other fandom I wrote for, it made me a little too readily identifiable. Should have done the smart thing from the jump, which is to just have a separate AO3 account for each fandom I write for. And now I do :)

The Keith Moon defender has LOGGED ON

Marc Starcke with the goods, as always:

Rare never before seen backstage photos of THE WHO at Union Catholic High School, Scotch Plains, NJ, USA on November 29, 1967

Photos were sent to 'When Stars Were in Reach" author Michael Rosenbloom from Todd McCartney, whose late mother Joan McCartney snapped when she was a staff writer for the Union College newspaper. Just 6 months prior Joan had graduated Union Catholic High School, and now here she was back to her old high school, as Michael Rosenbloom explains on his fb page: "Joan obtained press credentials to cover the Who concert for the paper. Imagine what a charge she must have felt visiting her alma mater several months after graduating, with press credentials and a backstage pass to boot. Picture Joan triumphantly returning to Union Catholic, meeting old teachers, former schoolmates and then going backstage to meet The Who."

A few more shots from the Who Are You release party on the set of Battlestar Galactica, August 10, 1978. That’s Roger goofing around with actress Jane Seymour.

Keith, Pete, and Roger at a Who Are You album release party in August of ‘78, I believe. So very, very shortly before Keith’s death. A matter of weeks. They were on the set of Battlestar Galactica.

John was indisposed.

Pete townshend’s biography

#it’s cool it’s fine i’m fine #roger daltrey #pete townshend #the who

Text and photo credit to Richard Parmelee on this one. C/Ped from the Who fan group on Facebook:

New Haven, Connecticut. December 15th, 1979. After the deaths of 11 Who fans in Cincinnati on December 3rd, Providence, Rhode Island wanted no part of The Who. Show cancelled. There was an edginess in New Haven. You could feel it in the air. Townshend came on stage drunk with a half bottle of cognac. He finished that bottle and then he finished another full bottle during the show. His vertical leap wasn't affected, he played well & would sing his backing vocals at the wrong times during several songs. Rip, roaring drunk. Everyone could tell he was in terrible emotional pain. I was close to the stage. Shooting pictures which I scanned this morning. Townshend just made it through the set. Then he passed out on stage. Roger carried him from the stage.

your fics are one of the only things that keep me going nowadays, so thank you so much for that

Holy shit, dude. Thank you. I am touched. I hope you’re doing okay, and you’re in my thoughts. XO

Aww, thank you! ❤

Roger is so hot In his prime he could rock my shit but I hate what a jaded conservative he’s become like...ok silent generationer

Yeah, it’s extremely disappointing. Especially in light of all the charitable work he’s done for teen cancer patients, who don’t stand to benefit from politicians who would happily cut funding to the NHS.

A lot of aging British rock stars are, unfortunately, more right of center than you’d perhaps expect, given their involvement in sixties counterculture. And I’ve experienced that Who fans in particular, at least in the Northeast/Midwestern United States and within a certain age demographic, lean frustratingly conservative. The Who’s performance at the Concert for 9/11 in 2001 earned them a large contingent of fans in law enforcement, as well, which I have experienced at close range when attending Who shows in New York within the past year.

Bless your soul for writing Pete fics, it’s so hard to find any 😪

*cries*

There are certainly not enough Pete fics out there! There’s a Pete x Rog series I love by AO3 user pedal_pusher, and a little Pete x John as teens that’s cute as well, but I haven’t read a ton of others.

🖤 Thank you my dear! XO

This reminds me I have various happy RPF projects to return to when my brain stops reeling.

rb this and add/reply with some outrageous, questionable, or downright foolish things thar your fav rock stars have done, it’s for science

Roger Daltrey eating a nail remains one of my favorites but he was a literal child so it’s slightly less funny. If he had eaten a nail at 32 I’d be way more impressed. Keith Moon and The Who in general are a goldmine for reckless behavior but I’m trying to think of something more obscure.

Oasis confusing crystal meth for cocaine and theatrically ruining their first ever set in the United States is a pretty good rockstar level fuckup.
