What a mug. And doesn’t it do his famous nose proud?
In the wake of his 2003 arrest, Pete Townshend got pretty quiet on his website, Petetownshend.com. Thankfully, he was also busy with his music and writing elsewhere. Today I was inspired to catch up with Pete. To my extreme delight, I find he’s posting a serialization of his novella The Boy Who Heard Music on a Blogspot site. And he’s allowing comments on the chapters as they’re published. He’s even filled out his Blogspot profile. Time to get back to Goedel, Escher, Bach, which I started on a trip to Williamsburg and put down when the term started.
As the kids say, OMG.
I have no time just now to follow this up, but you can bet I will, and soon. Extraordinary!
Ahh, I know there was an undiscovered reason I enjoyed reading your blog… a shared interest in my all time favorite rock artist. Somewhere in a retirement community in south Florida (my Mom’s house) is archived my collection of Who / Townsend vinyl and memorabilia.
I’m hearing power chords now….
Road trip to south Florida imminent…. 🙂
I was subjecting my 15-year old son to a School of Rock session as I drove him to school today: Live At Leeds, cranked.
Oh yeah! Without a doubt, the best live rock album ever! Gotta listen to that one when I get home. Mmmm – I can hear the hypnotic rhythm of “Magic Bus” already.
