Who Are You

130. “Who Are You” is a song by The Who, that was written by Pete Townshend. After Townshend received a large payment for the rights to his songs, he felt The Who had sold out. He then went to a bar, got drunk and passed out in a doorway in Soho. A policeman found him, woke him up and asked, “Who are you?”. Pete replied with “Who the f**k are you?” Listening to the song, I’m reminded of the caterpillar who asks Alice “Who Are You?” in the Lewis Carrol classic Alice in Wonderland.
