Who Are You?

I've just secured tickets for Easter Monday at next years Bluesfest at Byron Bay where Roger Daltrey will be headlining the day by singing the whole soundtrack of Tommy.

I also saw this movie with my Grandmother at the cinema when it came out in the Seventies.
And just like The Last Wave where the Aboriginal Elder keeps repeating to Richard Chamberlain's character, "Who are you?", 
The Who keep singing the same words in Tommy.
Coincidence or what?

Could Easter Monday get any better than that?

What a sign this turned out to be from the birds that flew over  
Steve Winwood in a V, then a heart shaped formation, while he was singing Higher Love at A Day on the Green.
Then turning into this guitar shaped formation, as I tried to capture a photo of the flock, while they were flying towards Byron Bay.
I have blown the photo of the birds to full size, just scroll to the right.
The birds are near the flag in the picture.

Higher Love?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, 'You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away'

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the Tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who the hell are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
I really wanna know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who?)
I really wanna know
(Who?)
Oh, I really wanna know
(Who?)
Come on tell me, who are you, you, you, oh, you?

Update: 20 Nov. 2011

When I found out the band YES were also playing on the same day as Roger Daltrey, I had also just read this passage on page 292 of  
Nine Kinds of Naked; "Yessing along thus in the yesness of existence (and Elizabeth had discovered one evening while pouring over her dictionary that this is no mere wordplay, that the word ' yes' itself derives from the same root as to be, that yes is the emphatic contradiction of nothingness,that yes is the very essence of being, that yes is the inescapable act of life itself)..." 

And on page 363 there is this question and answer;

"Who are you?"

"I do not pretend to know who I am."
I had a lot of weird synchs like these while reading this book.
I'll do another post soon about a few more I've had while reading it, in the coming days. 

UPDATE: December, 2015.
I should have updated this post a while ago, but since I stumbled across it again today, I should mention that Roger came down with a virus and had to cancel the Bluesfest gig, but John Fogerty from CCR took his place and to me that was even better, as I'm a bigger CCR fan and I was literally in the front row of his performance.
The "Tombstone Shadow" Dark Sync
And while I would have loved to see Roger sing the Tommy soundtrack, this to me turned out way better.
Sorry Rog.
