One of their better songs for sure. But it's not just teens with this problem. Maybe mostly teens.

I remember my last time at WDW (~12 years ago, in town to see Rush at Amway Center). Just sitting on a bench in Disney Village with a cup of coffee, people watching. It was fascinating. The head-down-in-phone people kept colliding with other head-down-in-phone people, and sometimes with the scooter people, often with their own head-down-in-phone while scootering. I assume it's only gotten worse.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

It's gotten MUCH worse. I've had some single friends tell me recently that on their first date with someone, that person couldn't stay off their smartphone for more than like 5 minutes during the entire date. Apparently this has become so commonplace now that its widely accepted by the younger generations.

As for "The Who", they put out a lot of great music but it's quite apparent that they were done creatively after Keith Moon died. For me at least all of the albums they put out after Keith died are rather forgettable.

One day I'm going to replace my flip phone which got turned off when AT&T killed 3G a year ago. Wife has an iPhone (work issued) so I'm good.
