The Who: My Generation
This song by one of the British invasion’s most unusual bands is often cited as the beginning of punk rock. Here Once again I am showing footage from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. I distinctly remember watching this episode with it’s smoke bombs, falling drums and guitar destruction by Pete Townsend. Don’t worry, that’s a prop and not Tommy Smothers’ Guild acoustic guitar. You will hear the first bass solo in the history of rock and roll as played by John Entwhistle.

Ah, The Ox. What a mighty bass solo.
They just don’t make rock n roll like they used to.
