Patrick and I were watching Electric Prom: The Who the other night. The following is an actual transcript of our conversation.
Me: Am I the only Who fan in the world who doesn't care for "Tommy"?
Patrick: Is this song from "Tommy"?
Me: ... Yes?
Patrick: You don't like "Quadrophenia" either, right?*
Me: And I call myself a Who fan!
[silence]
Me: Who do you think is a better drummer, Keith or Zac?
Patrick: They're different.
Me: Do you think Zac's better than his dad?
Patrick: Probably.
Me: Yeah, but I wish Zac could look like he was actually having fun. Keith made it look fun.
Me: God, does he ever smile?
[silence]
Me: Who do you think would look better shirtless - Pete or Roger?
Patrick: ... Well I wouldn't -
Me: OK, who do you think would look better shirtless, Pete**, Roger or Stewart?
Patrick [Decisively]: NONE.
*I think the song we were listening to was from Quadrophenia, which I'm giving a second chance. And the truth is, I love the music from "Tommy," I just can't stand the movie. There's something really, really gross about that scene with the beans. It kind of makes me sick.
Most importantly to note is, after 10 years of marriage, Patrick is always ready for these types of conversations with me. I also like to ask the following questions when we're watchng TV:
Me: Could you play this?
Me: Could you teach me to play this?
Me: Is Stewart better than this guy?
Me: Is this soundtrack by Stewart Copeland?
Me: Goddamn, is that Sting?
Me: What kind of commentary could Sting provide on John Entwhistle!
Me: Jesus Christ, what happened to Andy?
Me: WHY CAN'T WE SEE THE DRUMMER?
Me: Can we please watch "Everyone Stares" again?
Me: Can you get me a diet coke while you're up?
**Couldn't find a photo of Pete without his shirt; Frank looks pretty good, though. Surprising.
