Who Are You?
OK, whatever else he may now turn out to be, one thing needs to be clearly stated about Pete Townshend.
Caught this headline, for example, on the front of this morning's Toronto "Metro" freebie paper:
Reuters has been carrying the same idea in their stories for the last few days, with headlines such as:
"UK Rocker's Arrest Puts Spotlight on Child Porn"
Ahem. This is Pete Townshend, people. Of The Who.
You know - Quadrophenia, My Generation, "Out of my brain on the fiiiiive fifteeeen..." All that stuff.
A pervert? Perhaps. But a rocker? The man was a MOD, fercrissakes.
Mind you...while we're on the subject of Townshend, I'm sure his lawyers are shivering at the thought of some of those Who lyrics floating to the centre of the media radar.
Like this one.
Or this.
Dirty old sod.
