<one small bug for netnews, one giant bug for netland!> I was listening to the radio this morning, and was enjoying one of my all time favorite songs, "Baba O'Reilly" by the Who, when a thought occurred to me: Nowhere in the lyrics is the name Baba O'Reilly mentioned. Can anyone tell me why the song is named Baba O'Reilly? (I don't know the answer). Doug Burton ATT-CP Indianapolis inuxg!burton

<<It's only software wasteland!>> I think it has something to do with Pete's guru, Baba something-or-other. I know that the song Baba O'Reilly was originally for the soundtrack of a never finished project called Lighthouse that supposedly had some religious or philisophical overtones. Free and Eazy (from Odds and Sods and Who's First) was also from this soundtrack.
