149. Blue Red and Grey by The Who 1975

This came out in 1975 but I don't think I really began playing it until I was living in Collingwood in the late 70's. Not an album I can really listen to much nowadays although I think this song is a gem. I also have a fondness for Squeeze Box. It has a real melancholy feel about it probably stemming from Pete's use of a ukelele. From what I hear Pete often plays this song solo.
Anyway what really comes to mind is my girlfriend Leonie's flat in Collingwood. I seemed to spend more time there than at my place probably because I could get fed decent food. I think at my place I used to eat cereal for dinner. There was a milk bar at the end of her street. One day I was in there and I noticed there was a toy Monkee mobile on the shelf. 5 dollars. When I pulled it out there was another one behind it. In all he had twenty Monkee mobiles. I only bought one but later I ran into Bruce Milne who convinced me to buy the lot and he would sell them at Missing Link. I bought them but when I got them home I found the music didn't play. So I got an old train set transformer and gave each of them a burst of electricity. Fixed. I think he sold them for 100 bucks each and  I got half.
When we broke up he said constantly putting my Fender Twin Reverb in her boot had killed her rear suspension.
