You may have heard a Liverpool university now has a Beatles major. I applied be adjunct faculty, but I'm already overextended with 8 jobs here in Squidney and driving Queenie to her doctors appointments.
Both Ray Davies and Pete Townshend will start shopping this idea to other universities for their respective bands. Townshend's main interest is not the intellectual study of his music, but rather the increased royalties, especially since advertisers are no longer interested in the few songs in the Who catalogue that haven't been 'played out' in adverts.
'No Road Romance' won't move any product, 'A Little is Enough' is not a good capitalist message and the only thing you could sell with Quadrophenia is a suicide hotline.
It'll be a tough sell in his own backyard. A highly intellectual Who major would be out of place at the Shepherd's Bush Community College which leads the West London area in automotive graduates (both repairing and stealing) and has a top-notch program in hair and nail technology.
