Pete Townshend...

Turns 60 years old today. Let's hear it for aging British men who used to be fantastic songwriters thirty-five years ago...

 

Happy Birthday!


I think they're touring this year... I should find some info on that.

 

Ah, so Zak Starkey is Ringo's son..

Good job, Oasis.

 

Once they finally release Who2 and go on tour, I'm not even sure that I'll want to see them. I think it would be far too depressing and a great disappointment overall...

 

Yeah, it'll be like The Stones probably.

 

Their summer '02 wasn't so great for that matter.

 

I guess Pete has had some *ahem* "other" matters on his mind the past year or so.. lol

Pete was one the best "strummers" of a guitar though, if you know what I mean.. He was great.

 

I loved the guy. When he was young enough to still look like the rebellious young man he once was, that is. For me, the Who died along with Keith Moon. But they did alot of great things in their prime. I think "The Who Sell Out", "Tommy" and "Live at Leeds" are some of rock's finest moments.

And let's not forget Quadrophenia, of course.

 

He's old. Everyone that's cool is 60.

 

Or dead.

 

I used to like the songs off his solo album of the mid-80s... people used to like that sort of music back then. Face The Face etc... brings back memories
