Back then, a lot of youth divided into two camps, "Mods" and "Rockers" and there were frequent clashes, often quite viloent. The Who were definitely Mods. The styles of music from the two factions were different, though The Who probably sounded closest to Rock, and 50 years after the fact I doubt anyone too much minds.

It brought to mind a story, though. I used to live in a relatively isolated area and travelled by motorcycle ... black leathers or Barbour, tough boots, typical "Rocker". One evening on the way home I saw a Mod in the usual Parka coat at the side of the road peering at his scooter .. lights and mirrors everywhere. As I said ... relatively isolated and it was winter, so I pulled in near him. He took one look at me and ran off, jumped over a hedge. I called after him and said I'd stopped to help, not to cause trouble. He came back cautiously, I helped him fix the problem and got him home. We became covert friends ... I guess I can admit that now. laugh
