Entwistle dead?
This is the rumor I'm hearing. Anyone able to confirm with a link somewhere? The Who were set to start their tour in Vegas tomorrow.

I work at a music news service. We got a call saying that it was the case, but we haven't gotten any confirmation yet, although it looks like it's true. I was just curious if anyone had confirmed the story yet.

Nothing on CNN.
But they do have a story up about the band's concert date tomorrow in Vegas.

It's true. No official confirmation yet, but some secondary confirmation that seems solid.

Yea, but it's inevitable. They're all, like, really old. When I saw them on tour in the early 90s, I couldn't help thinking how much Mr. E. looks like an English professor these days. He was even wearing a twead jacket with patches on the elbows, thus perpetuating my perception.

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

I'm glad I had my chance to see them a few years ago.

I wonder if the tour will go on?

I really hope not. It would make the Who look so cold to open a tour the night after he died.

Rest in Peace, John.
