The Who - Farewell Tour, 1982
It was Daltrey who pushed for the band to stop touring, stating unequivocally “It’s a nightmare” at a press conference in October ’82. “We can’t get any bigger than we are,” the singer explained, adding “It’s good to go out on top.” Diplomatic Rog didn’t mention that Pete Townshend’s drink and drug problems were his biggest issues with life on the road. By 1989 various wounds had healed and The Who were off round the world again, albeit with a horn section and backing singers. Today The Who continue on their “long goodbye,” with dates scheduled until October.

It is never really out of the question that either could run again.

Funny thing is that I think both would be much better candidates that in 2016. I'm not sure us respective supporters would be though. I find "book tour Hillary" much more genuine and intriguing than candidate Hillary. And Bernie is on fire.

The "given the presidency by default" clause in the constitution is so often overlooked. hughee99 Sep 2017 #36

Clearly our constitution has no mechanism for dealing with this situation. ecstatic Sep 2017 #37

It does have a mechanism for dealing with this situation, impeachment. hughee99 Sep 2017 #38

how would impeachment cover it when the VP, speaker, etc. are all in on the crime? nt ecstatic Sep 2017 #40

Can't any of them be impeached? Also, we're quite a ways away from showing everyone in the line of hughee99 Sep 2017 #41
