    Who are you?

    Really, I'd prefer to keep it all at keyboard's length, you know.

    But apparently, should someone really screw up, Administrator would have no choice but to cough up your identity like so much undigested lunch.

    Apparently, Nancy Sinatra likes you to use your own picture as your avatar.

    No, but I browsed around it awhile tonight. It's smart without being geeky. I'm not really technically savvy. I'm the guy who spent a long time trying to figure out how to rewind my DVD's. Dilbert.com is more my style.

    Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

    I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

    Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

    'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)



    Like that song!

    I woke up in a Soho doorway
    A policeman knew my name
    He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
    If you can get up and walk away"

    You Who fans know they were singing about?

    The only band that matters.

    Paraphrasing but....

    It is about himself. IIRC, he had just received a large royalty check and instead of being happy about the $$$, he felt like he had sold out. So, he went out on a drinking binge, ran into the sex pistols, preached to them that they had to carry on the cause, or something like that. Then ran one and passed out in some alley in Soho bar district. Supposedly, a copy found him and said the line "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away". So simplistically, it is Townshend questioning what has become of himself and The Who.

    Recall this from an interview Townshend did and how he described the reason behind the song.
