"What I remember of the size of Mick Jagger's penis… I remember it as being huge and extremely tasty," recalled The Who guitarist Pete Townshend during a digital press conference earlier today announcing a 36-date North American tour of the band's classic 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia. Let's, um, try to scrub that particular sound bite from our collective minds and focus on the fact that yeah, holy shit, The Who are hitting the road for what very well might be the last time ever.

Quadrophenia, this author's all-time favorite Who album (no apologies), celebrates its 40th anniversary next fall and so, as hinted last year (see above), Townshend and Roger Daltrey will be performing the Mods vs. Rockers epic while they're still able this fall and into next spring.
