Pete Townshend was once asked how he prepared himself for The Who's violent live performances. His answer? 'Pretend you're in a war.' For a band as prone to furious infighting as it was notorious for acts of 'auto-destructive art' this could have served as a motto.Between 1964 and 1969 The Who released some of the most dramatic and confrontational music of the decade, including 'I Can't Explain', 'My Generation' and 'I Can See For Miles'. This was a body of work driven by bitter rivalry, black humour and dark childhood secrets, but it also held up a mirror to a society in transition. Now, acclaimed rock biographer Mark Blake goes in search of its inspiration to present a unique perspective on both The Who and the sixties.
From their breakthrough as Mod figureheads to the rise and fall of psychedelia, he reveals how The Who, in their explorations of sex, drugs, spirituality and class, refracted the growing turbulence of the time. He also lays bare the colourful but crucial role played by their managers, Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. And - in the uneasy alliance between art-school experimentation and working-class ambition - he locates the motor of the Swinging Sixties.
As the decade closed, with The Who performing Tommy in front of 500,000 people at the Woodstock Festival, the 'rock opera' was born. In retrospect, it was the crowning achievement of a band who had already embraced pop art and the concept album; who had pioneered the power chord and the guitar smash; and who had embodied - more so than any of their peers - the guiding spirit of the age: war.

Great trial set. Just be careful throwing the orange one!
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Blue isn't that easy to see in the yard
White charges with bright light/UV and is truly a game changer for night-time fetch. Both dogs clearly favor it.
Orange is easy to see in the grass at day
They're 3 different weights as well, so double trial. I prefer medium for my big dogs, though light performs well too
The orange is HEAVY and unyielding. Do NOT throw it with a ball thrower. It could damage your house or knock your dog out. Seems tough though.

Very convenient, soft, comfortable and does its job.
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
As a first responder being on your feet consistently in heavy boots really takes a toll.
I buy new soles for my boots and noticed the inconsistency balance from heel to toe which caused cracked and dry heels.
I was desperate to find an immediate solution and saw these.
Received all the socks individually wrapped, I am a size 5 1/2 to 6 in women’s shoes and they fit so snuggly. They are convenient, they fit under my work socks due to them only covering a portion of the foot and heel, the inside where the heel is a soft rubber material that helps keeps it in place, as well as if you use ointment or oils. The socks are soft and very comfortable that at the end of the day you forget you are wearing them.
They are also washable both in the washer or hand washed and it doesn’t affect the rubber material.
Highly recommend especially after a foot spa day.

Perfect!
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray, Green, Pink
When my heel skin started cracking, I of course found the internet hacks that went along the lines of put some moisturizing something (cream, Vaseline) on your feet and put socks on and go to sleep. Somehow many issues. While putting on the socks, I already wiped off the moisturizer. It feels terrible. My sleeping self hates socks apparently! I always kick them off, the socks are covered in moisturizer, and it’s all over my blanket. Yuck!
So when I found these socks I was unsure but willing to try. These are exactly what I needed! They have this gel-y coating inside that does not absorb the moisturizer, so it actually gets absorbed into your skin. They are snug without cutting off circulation, and along with kerasal, my heels are being healed! Could not recommend enough.

They keep sheets from getting greasy.
Size: 3 Pairs - Gray
These are good. I like that I can put lotion on my heels when I go to bed and not get my sheets greasy. They do a good job on that and a pretty good job keeping the moisturizer on. Since the toes are open, they aren’t hot.
The gel doesn’t seem to do anything, though.
