John Entwhistle and The Bloody English

JOHN ENTWHISTLE has always been an enigma. On the other members of the Who we can pin an identity. Townshend – creator and, at the same time, the Mad Axeman; Moon – super looner of all time; Daltrey – buckskinned mike-spinner extraordinaire. But Entwistle, what do you say about him? Obviously the easiest description is that he's the anchor-man, a description made more apposite if you remember the first Observer feature on the Who in the mid-sixties. "Without him, they'd fly, fly away."
