    Where is the strange cement structure that is on the front cover of the album "Who's Next"?

    Question #101313. Asked by star_gazer. (Nov 27 08 6:52 PM)

    		The Easington District Colliery in County Durham.

    Full: "The album cover shows a photograph of the band having just urinated on a large concrete piling protruding from a heap of mining refuse; the photo is often seen to be a reference to the monolith discovered on the moon in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had been released only about three years earlier. The featured structure was actually at the Easington District Colliery in County Durham. In 2003, the United States cable television channel VH1 named Who's Next's front cover the 2nd greatest album cover of all time".

    		I wonder if that thing is still there and if Who fans make pilgrimages to urinate on it?

    A clever person could run bus tours there playing the Who's music and take photos of people right after they had splashed it with their pee all for a reasonable price.

    Things too strange for you? Well then, welcome to my crusade to remove a little strangeness from this very strange world. Strangely, though, it has caused some confusion. You may have to straighten up after my "de-strangifying" efforts.
