Well, it is written, it's [F] written in rock and roll that all you need is love.
But as a lot of you know out there, you also need a PA, a light rig, a good manager, a good agent, some good [F#] songs, all these things.
But I think much more than that, you need a great nose.
[B] [B] It's essential equipment if you want to be in a great rock and roll band.
The Beatles, I mean, we had Ringo.
The Faces, they had two, so they gave Ron Wood to the Rolling Stones who didn't have any.
I didn't know until tonight that Ray Davies is such a great one.
Even Art Garfunkel, man, that's amazing.
It's the nose.
Some people have them and they chop them off.
We call those people pop stars.
The Who are rock and roll stars.
I [N]
don't care.
Anyway, whatever.
The music, I suppose that the rock and roll that affected you two most was the rock and roll that suggested something more.
That everything is possible and that Dan Ross talked about earlier on.
A sense of freedom, a sense of independence from crude commercialism and conformity that now threatens the free spirit of rock and roll.
We all know how cutthroat the business of rock and roll can be.
Well, actually, I don't and we don't.
We've been very lucky.
We've got some good people around us.
I'm sure a lot of the people, more than a few of the people honored in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame do know.
Anyway, poor or stinko rich, the great artists seem to transcend these limitations.
The Who definitely did.
They just laughed at it, seemed to mock it.
I mean, the Who sell out.
That was a joke, right?
Right.
Anyway, to enjoy even revel in contradictions is necessary for any rock and roll fan.
And that's what we are.
I'm a rock and roll fan.
I'm a fan of the Who.
More than any other group that ever was, the Who were our role models.
I love them and I hate them for that.
They took on more than any other group and succeeded at a lot of it.
Pete Townsend's faith and doubt gave me great courage and he's always been available.
We and you two are proud and have been humbled to be a part of a tradition that holds them high.
So we're very proud to be here and it's great.
I think Larry wants to say something.
[C#] As you and I know, drummers are the heart of any rock and roll band.
[C] I say that [B] with the humblest of hearts.
You know, actually, that this is and has been known as the [E] Larry Mullen Band.
And from one drummer to another, I would like to pay special tribute to Keith Moon.
I'm the Keith [N] Moon Band.
Thank you.
We'd like to welcome to the stage the Who.
[B] Thank you.
