edna 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 You mean Baba O'Riley, of course See? People doesn´t even agree about how to write the tittle!! They write it one way or the other... I always wrote "O´Riley" but I looked in my books, compilation cd, wikipedia and others and they say "O´Reilly". It´s "O´Riley" in Songfacts but there´s also somebody saying it´s the other way...

edna 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I looked in allmusic and all of the sites where they list the songs and it´s definitely Baba O'Riley... See?? One can never take things for granted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 I deleted my post because I'd said that it was O'Riley too, not Reilly, but deleted it because it might not be true. I've read several pages claiming that it was misspelled as Riley on the cover of Who's Next, and the record company promised Townshend that they'd change it on the next issue. Then, the song got a lot of ariplay and people knew it as Baba O'Riley and they decided against changing it. (the record company) Now, I've also seen some handwritten notes by Pete Townshend saying Reilly, but I suppose noone really knows how to spell it except for Townshend.

daslied 1 Report post Posted February 14, 2006 Didn't you also once show a new fishing pole to Elvis Presley? I think the conversation, as you told me, went like this: Elvis - Hey, man. What's that fancy spinnin' thing on top? With the wire. Ron - Reel, E. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
