      My girl's dad is a Who fan but she never really was interested until she started dating me. Now I've turned her into a Wholigan. :-)

      Bass players, or any musicians really, will appreciate the mechanics far more, but I suspect any moderate to desperate-level Wholigan will want this DVD in his collection, it's a lovely reminder of that awesome talent who was taken from us years too soon.

      The Japanese Wholigan may rate “Out in the Street” as her favorite Who hit.
