john entwistle biography review
ok so first: I didnt really like the biography because I thought it would focus on totally different aspects. John was a musical virtuoso and that hardly ever gets mentioned in the book. But we get exact axccounts on how much money he spent on what day and in which pub he bought which champagne. like wow thanks. The other personal stuff is basic who knowledge you can read in any other Who biography. His autobiographical bits were joy and fun! Maybe the only reason to buy the book in my opinion. He writes totally different than the author...
ANYWAYS: here my fav facts from the book that you probably didnt know before
this is the face of a man who -when his father gave him driving lessons for his 21st birthday as a present- decided driving wasnt really his thing and he spent the money on clothes and parties instead. He never had a drivers license ever and also never desired to have one
the hospital he was born in, was bombarded and destructed one day after his birth
as a child he was really weak and thin and had basically every disease that existed
his family was poor af
his father left the family early and held contact with his son, but soon disappeared with a new family
his stepdad, Gordon, disliked John alot and would ignore him, hated everything John did or said and he let his bad moods out on Johns mother, which caused John to be very silent and observative around the house so that there wouldnt be any trouble
he did everything to please Queenie (his mom) so that there was no fighting, according to Alison
loved drawing and playing but usually alone since he had no friends apart from their dog
he heard a trumpet solo once from a trad jazz band when he was 6 or so and decided he wanted to learn the trumpet
my fav line of the book probably: “despite his own expectations, he passed the exams to go to grammar school” like same
at school he was bullied from the older boys but soon left alone by them because he would fight back with badass comments
he applied for the school band for the trumpet but the tallest guy in the year was chosen (he was the 2nd tallest) which made John mad, but he discovered the french horn
soon he found a friend, mickey brown, at last and he gave him the nickname “ent”
he was so terrible in P.E that he was dismissed with other pupils to play somehwere else, they were called “the hockey misfits” and guess who was among them: Pete Townshend.
yeah as you might know they became besties because they loved music and black humour.
he found himself a gf (alison) and Pete & a school gang (like 4 ppl) and his life seemed to finally get where it should.
his worst subjects were geography and german like wow (im a german geography student lmao)
once they played in a pub and johns stepdad was there and was super angry and gave john a list with his fav pubs and told him “these are the places I never want to hear your fucking music playing”.
after walking home pete decided to switch the guitar and john wanted to become a musician more than ever
Roger found him and John kind of convinced him (it took months apparently) to get Pete into the band and then it all started
he judged the beatles because John Lennons harmonica was “out of tune” in love me do, wow ok you nerd
john started smoking with 20 and was the last one to quit his job for the band and he was against drugs at first (bc he had a “civilized” job) but then decided to give a shit, dyed his hair black, bought cigarettes, smoked dope with pete and did speed too
he wanted to step out of himself and feel good about himself and he was always a fashionnerd so he started buying and trading and selling clothes (he once was dismissed from school bc he wore the school uniform incorrectly)
with 18 or so he was still living at home, had a toy soldier collection and a pet budgie
pete and his college friends made fun of john bc he wasnt a student and still lived at home, although john could have gone to college too and he wanted to, but his stepdad again said no and he had no choice.
he was very awkward and introverted but could open up with his music
he was really into pop art (esp pop art clothes)
was a pseudo mod bc he only liked the fancy clothes and motown music
with the who he found a purpose in his life and finally could be different than ordinary ppl
hated when people touched his hair, he literally hated it
would fuss much about his hair in general
once after a concert they were starving and the room service was alreday home so they had to look on used plates and food wagons and John found a shrimp and said: “who wants to dine with me tonight?” (idk that really made me laugh)
keith moon was john entwistles soulmate and they were the cutest, most iconic and funniest duo ever end of discussion
his amps would soon be called little manhatten bc he had so many bc he wanted to be loud
he actually went to sing at church once when he was like 24 and the band made fun of him then he stopped
in the late 60s he bought a house with alison in a normal neighbourhood and went walking the dogs on sundays and stuff
but he was a party animal and always the last to go
he was really sensitive and cried often according to Alison but only in front of certain people
he would totally step out of his way to please people
when they played at the monterey pop festival they didnt bring their own amps along and john was furious bc he said the american amps are shit and kit was like “no” and john didnt talk to him for the whole festival until their perfomance was over and they had sounded like shit to tell kit “I TOLD YOU SO” thats how extra he was
when he got money he would spend it bc he was so used to being poor that he thought it wouldnt last long and he had to enjoy it NOW
he was always calm and everyone respected him and kit told a story where he entered the room and roger was at keiths throat and and pete was screaming something and john was sitting in the corner cleaning his nails. thats who energy
liked to dance at parties
his fav drink was rémy cognac with 40% and he would drink like 1 bottle alone everyday in his later years...wow dude
he was also gentlemanTM and once paid taxis for girls from london to brighton after a party
once at a wedding the free drinks were out and John just gave the barkeeper his creditcard and said he will pay for all the drinks of the night for everyone (it wasnt his wedding)
Roger once said: “John made smartass comments that deserved a punch in the face” sounds like him yes
he didnt really care about money and always wanted to pay and never told anyone how much things had cost and brought gifts for everyone
soon that ended in a shopping addiction tho and he bought ridiculous things for ridiculous amounts of money
when the who was inactive he sank into depression :(
held the band together during who by numbers & who are you
wrote and played all the quadrophenia horn parts himself
never lost his passion for art and always drawed alot, said Alison
cried when Christopher was born aww
once he saw their manager in an art museum and how he wanted to buy a painting but couldnt afford it, so John bought it secretly and shipped it to said managers home as a gift
We all know John was a huge collector. His most treasured collection was .. wait for it: teapots.
he tried to save Keith from being arrested once and ended up being arrested too lol
wanted to write a scifi concept album but desorted the idea and gave some songs to the who (905) or Pete
was a good cook apparently
When he gave a hug HE was the one who decided when to let go sdfghjk
hated confrontation and would hire other people to tell someone bad news
he spent so much money on dumb shit like wtf
but didnt really care either
probably the master in picking up and seducing girls
he let his stepdad live in the quarwood mansion when he wasnt there but Gordon was still an asshole wtf
the contact to his real dad was really sporadic
when the who ended, it hit him really hard and he didnt know what to do besides partying and buying stuff/hording stuff
was very insecure and selfconscious in the 80s according to Maxene :(
he actually took pete breaking up the who really personal and was sad 24/7
was that kind of guy that said bad stuff about the who but when you said bad stuff he would try to kill you on spot
with cocaine he felt really confident and still like the 60s/70s rockstar he once was but he didnt understand that these times were over and he needed to move on
sometimes went into random pubs with friends and made jam sessions for the guests
he still was generous and loving until he died and tried to play with other bands but it was not the same
he really liked Kenney and hung out with him more than with his wife at some point lmao
was a total giver and people who worked at quarwood would steal money from him but when someone pointed that out he got angry with that person for even suggesting that
was a real softieee (and a huge nerd)
all his friends said that he was shy at first but once you got to know him he would come totally out of himself, was very funny, loved to tell stories, was very very loyal and would try evertyhing to make you laugh aww
all in all a glorious story with a sad ending and he did destroy himself completely, but lets remember that Pete Townshend described old John still as "wonderful, mature and elegant” so lets cling on to that :)
#the who#John Entwistle#band#literature#the ox#mine#pete and rog didnt participate in the bio maybe thats why its hit#*shit#not hit#also you can see: no info about his musical inspiration or werdegang#can not recommend#althought this post might look fun these are the filtered cool stories from like 330 pages#classic rock

milkshake boy ; cai xukun
hello everyone! its my first REAL post sooo ive been watching idol producer lately and i fell inlove with cai xukun omg he is more beautiful than me anyways i hope you enjoy!
after a long day at school, you decide to get a milkshake and meet your future boyfriend
GENRE: fluff
WARNINGS: uhmm... sudden heart attack ^__^;
okay lets us prepare our hearts for this xukun imagines hdjwxbcje.
you were just a normal college student who took the course of performing arts and yOU WERE REALLY GOOD AT IT.
some companies scouted you but you rejected them all because you knew that you wouldnt have time for training because of school
if that aint me lmAO
anYWAYS
so one day your dance teacher taught a few moves that were new to you and your classmates so you had difficulties learning them.
whats worse is that your teacher assigned all of you and your classmates to create a dance with those moves in it.
and you were like ‘bITCH WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS MS.ZHOU??’
and it was like she read your mind and said “oH YES”
so you were determined to make the most creative and unique dance
class originally ended at 3:30 p.m but you stayed at the practice room dancing until 8:55 p.m
hOW HARDWORKING I CAN NEVER RELATE-
so you danced, and danced until you got the move right
but like you kept messing up at one particular part.
at the middle of dancing, ms.zhou did a check on why the hell there was music coming from the practice room sO LATE AT NIGHT
to her surprise she saw you there working yourself out to the bone.
so she ran up to you and stopped you from dancing further.
“you need some rest y/n!!”
“no need-”
“yOU NEED REsT gO bAcK hOMe aNd sLeEp”
“yES MAAM’
so while you were walking home
and by walking i mean literally dragging yourself along the street with your school bag by your shoulder
you saw a milkshake shop not so far from where you were
and since you didnt have any water in your jug left, you decided why not buy some water from there.
so you walked and walked until you reached the shop
you entered the shop to get greeted by this hELLA ATTRACTIVE BOY
and you were like ‘omg i smell like sweat what do i do omg can i just shoot me he looks like full course meal iN a good way-’
and he shot you a bright smile
you swore your heart was beating 173600237 times per second
aND HE WAS THERE SMILING LIKE HE WAS ENJOYING YOUR PAIN
so you walked up to the counter
and he gave you a warm greeting
“hI WELCOME TO CHINLI’S”
im joking
“Hi welcome to idol projuicer, my name is xukun! what can i get for you?”
and you being distracted by his ethereal beauty you blurted out
“o-one strawberry milkshake”
because that was your favorite flavor
but you remembered that you had to buy water
tOO LATE THE RECIPT IS BEING PRINTED OUT
so you pay for your drink and find a seat in the shop
after you find a seat you take a seat and scroll on your phone for a bit
sUDDENLY YOU HEAR A VOICE BEHIND YOU
“miss here is your strawberry milkshake”
and turns out its xukun dude who is also your waiter!
he flashes you a smile and puts the shake on your table
but you noticed he put chocolate ice cream on top with chocolate syrup!
so basically its now strawberry and chocolate
wHICH IS LIKE YOUR SECOND FAVORITE SHAKE FLAVOR
im sorry if it isnt omg
so you unintentionally smiled and drank your shake happily.
xukun caught you smiling and he smiled too
he also swore his heart started beating 30572921637 times per second
see how theres more numbers
anyways the next day after school, you decided to go to that milkshake shop again
because of xukun and his shakes
mainly because of xukun
but anyways everytime you visited he would put some more add-ons on every shake you order.
the two of you got closer in just the span of a week
how?
one day you were craving his amazing milkshakes so you went there
and then while you were drinking, xukun walked up to you and built up a conversation
and the two of you cLICKED
why did he strike a convo?
he likes you mwahahaha
anyways aside from that in the span of two weeks
he gave you the nickname ‘beautiful loyal customer’
the owner of the shop, Mr.Zhang started to treat you as if you were his own daughter lol
the other staff, ziyi, justin, chengcheng, treated you as if you were their sister.
and best of all, xukun!gave!you!his!number!
and you became a squeeling dolphin when you got home
to the point your mom thought you were secretly a dolphin hybrid
one day while you and xukun were having a dinner date at the shop,
you remembered the dance you had to do
and the fact it was two days away made you scared af
so you excused yourself
sO LIKE YOU KNOW THAT DRAMATIC KDRAMA HAND GRAB?
THAT HAPPENED
he asked why you were leaving so early because it was unusual of you
so you told him “dance.learn.2 days”
he seemed to understand and he smiled at you
“i will help you”
and it was unusual because he didnt tell you he was also a dancer??
but you agreed anyways
so when the two of you reached the studio,
you played the music and started to dance to the song
xukun had heart eyes while watching you but also seemed to learn the moves quickly just by looking at it
so he noticed the moves you were messing up at and he taught you a few techniques and shit that would make you remember it and do it properly.
so after a while of teaching, he asked you to dance again but this time to apply the stuff he taught you
so you danced with the stuff he taught you
and when the song ended you heard xukun clap like a proud mom seal hybrid
and you also couldnt believe it because when you looked at your phone the song was done playing!
cONGRATS
so you ran up to xukun and hugged him tightly
and xukun was sHOOK and you realized what you did and you pulled away awkwardly the two of yoiu being tomatoes.
but he broke the awkwardness and pulled out a mango milkshake out from his bag.
“yOU DID IT BEAUTIFUL LOYalL Y/N!!”
and the two of you would end up being a giggling mess
fastforward to the day of your presentation....
you got the second highest grade
zhengting being the first
but you were happy with your grade
soo when you went out of your school you saw xukun there waiting for you.
and you were like wtf why is he here
but he smiles only
“y/NNN i wANNA TAKE YOU TO THE MILKSHAKE SHOP AGAIN TO CELEBRATE!!”
and you giggled at his cuteness
so while the two of you were walking there and the two of you talking about life
he would lace his hand with yours
and you would be a CHERRY BOMB
and he would be there smiling widely while admiring your beautiful, flustered face
so once the two of you arrive at the shop
you would see that it was closed, but there were flower petals everywhere you would be so dumbfounded when you hear the song with the lyrics only being ‘balance’
and you hear someone with the voice of Mr.Zhang mutter a loud “cRAP WRONG SONG”
and after that a ballad love song would play
xukun would whisper a short ‘aish, mr.zhang’ but you would only giggle
sooooo xukun would face you again and grab the both of your hands gently
he would be so nervous and shy omg pls save him
and he would blurt out
“uHMM Y/N IVE LIKED YOU FOR A LONG TIME NOW PLS DONT REJECT ME OMG IF YOU DONT LIKE ME BACK AT LEAST KISS ME OR SOMETHING IDK”
and you would only giggle and peck him on the lips
“ i like you too, my milkshake boy” you say and hug him tightly
he would grab your waist and kiss you LONGER
the two of you smiling into the kiss
when the two of you pulled away
xukun would give you a strawberry chocolate milkshake like when you first met each other
you would smile remembering the both of your first encounters and chuckle slightly.
xukun’s heart would go dugeun dugeun dugeun seeing your smile
and he would ask.......
“would you be my girlfriend?”
“yes of course”
“oUR MILKSHAKE BOY HAS FOUND HIS MILKSHAKE GIRL”
thats probably ziyi
everyone would cheer
and suddenly justin comes out of nowhere and plays careless whisper
while the two of you hold hands enjoying each others pressence
OMG IM DONE THIS TOOK ME 4 HOURS TO MAKE OML ANYWAYS HOPED YOU ENJOYED LOVELIES!
