“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'.

From Empty Glass of 1980.
