...sure where the idea of sending Christmas messages to the hostages originated, but it caught on with amazing speed. On one day, postal officials sent about 44,000 pieces of mail to Iran.

In Tehran the militants guarding the U.S. embassy accepted the mail, and said some of it was being passed on to the hostages...

...individualistic as those Townshend compositions are, they remain a group statement. Townshend, who has no use for modesty, insists, "I can still use The Who more effectively to speak to people heart to heart than I ever could on a solo album." Daltrey observes, "Did you ever notice that nobody ever does Townshend's songs? The Who are the only people who can play them. That's one reason we've survived. None of us is very good on his own. It's only as part of The Who that we're great...
