We get some news on what The Who have been up to:
"At present, The Who are working on a film based on Quadrophenia. Called The Kids Are Alright (the title taken from a song on their first album), its dedicated to the kids The Who were and the same kids in each generation who are changing society or just rebelling. As musical director for the movie, Pete will compose about 4 new songs for the soundtrack, while Roger will act in the film along with unknown actors. The film will include interviews with the individual Who members as well as footage of Who concerts throughout their 15-year history."

.In "New Wave News" we get this interesting bit of info:

"The DAVE EDMUNDS / NICK LOWE fall tour came to a grinding halt following the on-stage breakdown of VAN MORRISON in New York. It was a pretty exciting event, however, when at their appearance at the late show ROLLING STONES guitarist KEITH RICHARD got up to jam. Lowe had been quoted as saying it was "embarassing" because Keith was pretty "out of it". Still, the audience loved it as Lowe called out chord changes during Edmunds' well-known opener, "Down Down Down"."
