Syndicated programming aired over the weekend includes 2GB's Continuous Call Team during the National Rugby League season, Sharina's Psychic Encounters on Sunday nights, and two music-based syndicated programs, My Generation and Cover 2 Cover.
Their cover version of "My Generation" highlighted the plight of the elderly, and reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart.
The initial funding for the organization's formation was provided by guitarist and songwriter for The Who, Pete Townshend, who also suffers from tinnitus as a result of loud volumes at Who concerts, and a particular incident during a live performance of My Generation, when drummer Keith Moon set off some explosives inside his drum kit right next to Townshend.
Townshend reportedly wrote the song on a train and is said to have been inspired by the Queen Mother who is alleged to have had Townshend's 1935 Packard hearse towed off a street in Belgravia because she was offended by the sight of it during her daily drive through the neighbourhood.

The main difference between this version and the original is that instead of the hail of feedback which ends the original, the band play a chaotic rendition of Edward Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory".
The song pays homage to two rock groups: firstly to The Velvet Underground, with the song "Sister Ray" being directly referenced (OMD had previously covered "I'm Waiting for the Man" as a B-side to 1980 single "Messages"); and secondly to The Who, with the line "people try to drag us down" being near-identical in melody and lyrical content to the opening line of "My Generation".

In addition to the above, the DVD of the concert offers three extra performances: "Walk This Way" with Steven Tyler, "My Generation" with Roger Daltrey, and "Pink Houses" with John Mellencamp.
All of the songs are available as bonus tracks on the 1995 reissue CD of A Quick One, except for "Circles", which differs from the version on the 2002 de luxe version of the My Generation LP, and can be found on Two's Missing.
The performance was energetic, but problematic: a problem with John Entwistle's bass guitar briefly delayed the start of their set, only to have the BBC's power cut out during the second verse of "My Generation", resulting in only the audio being transmitted for the last part of this song and "Pinball Wizard"; the video resumed for "Love Reign O'er Me".
Lidia Ravera, another participant in the symposium, said of the novel:There is a chasm between my generation and the new generation, but the youthful protest is even alive and dangerous for the powers that be".
During the late 1996, the band appeared on the Kornelije Kovač solo album Moja generacija (My Generation) with a cover version of the Korni Grupa song "Oj, dodole".
The song was performed by Scott McKenzie, who was a friend of Phillips, on a PBS special, My Generation "The 60's Experience" (part of PBS's "My Music" series) in 2005.
