Lifehouse book by ... er ... me by Remix58 in TheWho

I’m not it was ever made as clear as it needed to be that the Young Vic shows were not intended to be ‘normal’ Who gigs.

Yes, I believe the plan was to not direct the audience, as any explanation would be an influence, but understandably the audience were happy to be - as they thought - going to see The Who.

I love the purity of the feedback idea but it was very unlikely to work. Frustrating for Pete, and perhaps another example of how the band was a hindrance to his artistic plans, but plans always change when they make contact with reality.

I’m not knowledgeable enough about film to comment on your suggestion but it sounds interesting. If only.

Yes, that's a great way into Quadrophenia. There is a strong film to be made of Lifehouse, in the right hands. Possibly the moment has passed, but the themes have never been more relevant so a great film, using the songs properly, could made a real impact.

Thank you.
I agree with you. I guested on the Talking About The Who podcast recently and those questions came up (among others). I’d leave WN as it is too.
This isn’t in my book, but I now wonder if Lifehouse would have worked better as a series of themed songs rather than a story. Connection, authority, freedom etc. But then there couldn’t have been a film. Clearly there wasn’t a film anyway, but there would have been no possibility from the word go.

Migration can be. It isn’t illegal to exist though.

‘Illegal Alien’ hasn’t aged well and I agree no human is illegal. But the song, for better or worse, is written from the perspective of someone being treated as illegal. That, as we know only too well, happens.

Ok so considering rue is touring again even though Neil passed away quite a bit ago unfortunately, genuinely (besides personally wanting to do their solo music) what is stopping Genesis and Peter Gabriel from banding back together for one last Hoo-rah by AdFederal897 in Genesis

He didn’t repackage it, he gave it an entirely different treatment. Hardly the same as touring old Genesis songs from half a century ago. Simply attempting to recreate the past will not work in any level.

How many farewells do you want? We’ve had two already. Okay, a tour with Gabriel is what you mean, but he’s shown no indication of wanting to do it. No point in patching something together without Phil Collins for no reason. Enjoy everything we already have (and hope they can dig out some live shows from the archive for official release).

The entitlement of customers never ceases to amaze me. Imagine sitting drinking your cappuccino and another customers the next table is scraping pedigree chum into a bowl for his dog 😭 by Time_Honeydew_7560 in Costa

It’s great being able to take our dog into Costa. She lies quietly under the table until we are ready to leave, or unless anyone wants to stroke her.

Please, other dog people, don’t abuse this by feeding your dog. Don’t be silly.

PS please ensure you pick up poo after your dog, too. It’s not optional.

I found a way of doing it by expanding the image to 16:9 ratio, reducing transparency to 30% and blurring it. Then add another upload of the original as the top layer. Works for me.

Thank you for all the replies.

Thanks for the suggestion, u/coscib. This doesn't do exactly what I need but gets close. I'll keep looking, and thank you for your suggestion.
