‘The Ox’: New Book Reveals the Secret Life of Who Bassist John Entwistle
British writer Paul Rees had just started work on his new book, The Ox: The Authorized Biography of John Entwistle, when Christopher Entwistle, son of the late Who bassist, handed him a locked box from his father’s vast archives. “It looked like it hadn’t been opened in years,” says Rees. “We had to use WD-40 to open the lock.”
Inside was a leather attache case stuffed with A4 notebooks and looseleaf sheets of pages. It was the beginning of an autobiography that the bassist had started back in 1990 and never came anywhere near finishing. Very few outside of his immediate family had ever seen a word of it. “There were four completed chapters from a word processor,” says Rees. “The notebooks were full of handwritten stories from other periods in his life he didn’t want to type up. All of it was funny, knowing, and very descriptive. It gave me some small sense of being able to talk to him through it and hear his voice.”

John Entwistle
John Entwistle, The Who’s original bass guitarist, was born in Chiswick in West London on October 9, 1944, and his natural talent as a musician formed the backbone to many of The Who’s most memorable recordings. He was nicknamed ‘The Ox’, as well as ‘Thunderfingers’ – because his digits became a blur across the four-string fretboard – and in a poll at the end of the 20th century he was voted ‘Bassist of the Millennium’ in Musician magazine.
Like many of the world’s greatest bass players, John was born into a musical family and formally trained, initially on the French horn which he played in the Middlesex Youth Orchestra. Drawn to rock’n’roll, he became a fan of Duane Eddy, the US guitarist whose hit singles featured a twangy guitar played in a low register, and soon abandoned his trumpet for a home-made bass guitar, playing in school groups The Confederates and The Scorpions with his friend Pete Townshend. In 1961, he was approached to join fellow Acton County Grammar school pupil Roger Daltrey’s group, The Detours. Six months
