“Jools and Jim”, Pete Townsend

This way: Jools and Jim

Did you read the stuff that Julie said?/Or little Jimmy with his hair dyed red?/They don’t give a shit Keith Moon is dead/Is that exactly what I thought I read?’ Over a near-frantic beat and needling guitar, Townshend dismisses the young _NME upstarts and their ilk as little more than ‘Typewriter bangers'.

The fallout from Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons’s book The Boy Looked At Johnny whee Keith Moon was written off. This song is Petes visceral response. 
From Empty Glass of 1980.
