My Lost Treasure: The Who
Transportation is the theme, and today we kick off the sub theme of buses. It was a no brainer about which song I'd use to kick off the bus theme. Of course, I picked Magic Bus.
I never actually got to meet Pete Townshend, but I did sit about ten feet away from him at a press conference. He performed at A Day in the Garden concert back in 1998. It was in Bethel where Bethel Woods Center for the Arts now stands. It was a great show...Pete Townshend, Joni Mithchell, Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Lou Reed, and a whole slew of other great musicians. I had this little WPDH pin that I always wore, and we put it on the mic stand that Pete Townshend used for the press conference. And, from my ten feet away, I saw him brush against it. Then I wore it. So...I practically touched Pete Townshend.
Pretty long and involved story just to play a song about a bus. More bus songs on the way, the boats, ships, bikes, and whatever other kind of transportation we can think of.
