The follow up to "Tommy" was meant to be another rock opera project called "Lifehouse." The Who put that project aside (which Pete Townshend would eventually work on again) and decided to go with a more traditional album, "Who's Next." This morning's Random Vinyl was a good opportunity to remind a certain generation of music fans that "Behind Blue Eyes" is NOT a Limp Bizkit original.
