Today, we remember John Entwistle of The Who.
John was known for his powerful playing and quiet demeanor. His booming bass lines were crucial to the band's intense sound. One of his most iconic contributions is the bass solo breakdown from "My Generation," live at Woodstock '69.

Happy birthday to the legendary
