Pete Townshend is the songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of The Who. The band first stormed the pop charts sixty years ago, with teenage anthems including I Can't Explain, Substitute and My Generation. Broader songwriting ambitions led him to create the rock opera Tommy in 1969, and the concept album Quadrophenia four years later. Both projects were adapted as films, and Quadrophenia has now been staged as a ballet by Sadlers Wells. Throughout the seventies, The Who were regarded as the biggest and loudest live act in the world. They played at Woodstock, at Live Aid, Live 8 and the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. Despite the deaths of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwhistle, Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey continue to perform as The Who. Pete Townshend talks to John Wilson about the influence of his parents, who were both musicians. His father, the saxophonist Cliff Townshend, played in the popular dance band The Squadronaires, but it was his mother Betty, a singer, who was most supportive of Pete's early musical talent. Seeing Bill Haley and The Comets at Edgware Road Odeon in 1956 was another formative moment that introduced the teenage Townshend to the possibilities of a rock 'n' roll performance. Pete also reveals how his art school tutor Roy Ascot, who was head of the Ground Course at Ealing Art School, shaped his his approach to his band that was to become The Who. He also recounts how reading Labyrinths, a book of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges on the first US Who tour in 1967 opened his imagination and helped him expand his musical storytelling.

Pete Townshend feiert den 80er mit unrhythmischen Gitarrenläufen und Liam Gallagher wird Opa. Da fühlt sich mancher Rockfan plötzlich wie eine melancholische Schildkröte. Eine Glosse von Georg Bayerle.

Les récentes critiques de Bruce Springsteen face à l'administration Trump ont provoqué une réaction très virulente de la part du Président, ainsi que de ses acolytes comme le chanteur Kid Rock. Pour les Who, les choses ne sont pas simples avec leur batteur de longue date, Zak Starkey, fils de Ringo Starr, un autre membre du groupe confirme son éviction. Remplacer Taylor Hawkins à la batterie des Foo Fighters, après son décès, était un défi de taille pour Josh Freese, accepté et relevé haut la main mais qui s'arrête maintenant suite à une décision unilatérale du groupe. Le chanteur Elton John a dit dimanche se sentir "incroyablement trahi" par le gouvernement britannique, qui défend, malgré l'opposition de nombreux artistes, un projet de loi assouplissant les droits d'auteur au profit des entreprises d'intelligence artificielle. Les Black Keys ont officiellement annoncé la sortie de leur 13ème album, ‘'No Rain, No Flowers'' et nous offre la plage titulaire, de quoi patienter jusqu'au 8 août, jour de la sortie officielle.

Jeg fejre denne uge Pete Townshends 80 års fødselsdag, han var sangskriveren i The Who.

This won't be the last time you hear the Rolling Stones but this is the episode wherein we discuss "The Last Time" from early 1965. After acknowledging the chorus copped from the Staple Singers, we move on to the riff, the riff, the riff! We also note the strange connection to German Oompah music. The second in the parade comes from their producer and manager Andrew Oldham and his Orchestra. Obviously, this is a rearrangement rather than a cover, and obviously, it's infamous in the wake of Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony." It's totally tubular! In '66 to North Carolina's Nomads gave the song the garage treatment and the vocals are snottier and the kick drum is busier! The same year Phil & The Frantics authored a version with strange strangled vocals, an added organ with "Gloria" flourishes and it's the most oompah of all. We break the mold for "Do You Understand Me" by The Jujus, a song which steals the riff but scrambles it a bit - it's a classic! The last word goes the Who, who covered the song in 67 who underplay the riff and focus on Pete Townshend's thundering chords and Keith Moon's wild drumming. Oompah!

Pete Townshend remembers some trips to America as he talks about the upcoming final tour for The Who!

Im Mai 1970 erschien "Live At Leeds", das legendäre Live-Album von The Who – und ist bis heute eine der kraftvollsten Rockaufnahmen aller Zeiten. Mitgründer und Sänger der Rockband The Who Roger Daltrey sagte einmal, die Rolling Stones seien die beste Rock 'n' Roll-Band der Welt, aber The Who machten keinen Rock 'n' Roll, sondern Rock. Damit grenzte sich die Band bewusst ab und setzte auf kompromisslosen, direkten Rock und genau das setzten sie in "Live At Leeds" auch musikalisch um. Die Originalpressung von "Live At Leeds" aus dem Jahr 1970 enthält nur sechs Songs und beginnt mit "Young Man Blues". Spätere Neuveröffentlichungen hatten andere Reihenfolgen und fügten deutlich mehr Titel hinzu, die Vinyl-LP bot jedoch nur begrenzten Platz. "Live At Leeds" enthält auf der ersten Seite vier Songs und auf der zweiten Seite zwei lange Stücke: Eine fast 15-minütige Version von "My Generation" mit Teilen aus der Rockoper "Tommy" und eine fast achtminütige Version von "Magic Bus", die die LP-Seite füllten. Die Songs wurden bei zwei Konzerten im Februar 1970 aufgenommen: in Leeds und in Hull. Letztlich konnte jedoch nur das Leeds-Konzert verwendet werden, da beim Hull-Mitschnitt die Bass-Spur fehlte. Pete Townshend hatte erkannt, dass The Who eine genauso große Live- wie Studioband ist. Nach einer Tournee durch europäische Opernhäuser Ende der 60er- und Anfang der 70er-Jahre, wollten The Who zurück in die Clubs, wo das Leben stattfindet, und ihre Fans mitgrölen. Deshalb spielten sie am 14. Februar 1970 in Leeds und am 15. Februar in Hull, um diese beiden Konzerte für ihr kommendes Live-Album zu nutzen. The Who legten großen Wert auf gutes Monitoring, also darauf, sich selbst oder die gesamte Band auf der Bühne hören zu können. Viele andere Bands wie die Beatles scheiterten dagegen oft an der Lautstärke des Publikums. Pete Townshend hatte sogar einen eigenen Mischer für seine Monitorbox. Das ermöglichte ihnen präzises Spielen, unabhängig vom Lärm im Publikum. "Live At Leeds" klingt anders als viele andere Live-Aufnahmen damals, rauer, direkter und authentischer. Statt aufwendiger Technik setzten sie bei den Aufnahmen auf ein einfaches Acht-Spur-Gerät und die Nähe zu den Verstärkern, was zu einem kompakten, klaren Sound führte: Gitarre, Bass und Schlagzeug sind deutlich hörbar, und "mehr brauchte es gar nicht", so SWR1 Musikredakteur Benjamin Brendebach. Warum The Who einiges an Live-Material verbrannten, wie ein offizielles Album zum kultigen Bootleg werden konnte und noch viel mehr erfahrt ihr im Meilensteine Podcast zu "Live At Leeds" von The Who __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Live At Leeds" wird im Podcast gesprochen: (03:49) – "Young Man Blues"(12:26) – "Summertime Blues"(18:58) – "Substitute"(22:38) – "My Generation"(32:23) – "Magic Bus" Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen (12:50) – "Young Man Blues" von Mose Allison (28:44) – "Pinball Wizard" von The Who__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/the-who-live-at-leeds-meilensteine __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Clem Burke, batteur historique du groupe Blondie, est décédé à l'âge de 70 ans, des suites d'un cancer. À 83 ans Pete Best, figure emblématique que l'on surnomme souvent "le cinquième Beatle", a annoncé qu'il se retirait définitivement de la scène et des apparitions publiques, il met un terme à sa carrière musicale. Metallica a annoncé un partenariat inédit avec la Croix-Rouge américaine, dans le cadre de sa nouvelle initiative solidaire baptisée "A Sea of Hearts Beat As One Unified". Tracy Chapman, dans une rare interview au New York Times, partage sa prise de position claire sur l'état actuel de l'industrie musicale : elle refuse de streamer de la musique. Paul Stanley, Billy Idol et Gwen Stefani ont été choisis comme visages d'une série de publicités pour une plateforme d'intelligence artificielle d'entreprise.

By 1980, Pete Townshend was 34 or 35, regarded as a true legend of rock music and a revered songwriter. He was one of the true pied pipers of rock n roll. The only problem was, there was no such thing as a middle-aged rock star. In 1978, the death of Keith Moon hit him hard and put in the question the future of The Who. Punk music was railing against old bands like The Who and while Pete was with them in spirit, he realized that they may have had a point. Meanwhile, Pete was battling alcohol and heroin addictions while his marriage to his first wife was on the rocks. He was looking for spiritual fulfillment and yearning for peace of mind. But out of all that came Empty Glass, a marvelous album with vivid melodies, personal lyrics and Pete Townshend's heart on his sleeve. He dedicated the album to his wife, Karen, and some of the songs could be in her voice. Pete takes on the personality of different people to get his points of view across with lyrics that can be ambiguous but deeply personal. The opening track Rough Boys is seen by some as a coming out for Townshend but it's a rockin' way to kick off a record. The alltime great Let My Love Open The Door is an instant pick me up that outsold the platinum (in the US) Empty Glass several times over and remains a favorite for movie soundtracks aimed at the children of the 1980s. But songs like I Am An Animal and I Moved showcase Pete's softer side before the ranting Jools and Jim aimed at authors who dismissed Keith Moon's death as inevitable and even warranted. Keep On Working shows Pete trying to channel The Kinks and A Little Is Enough may have been a minor hit but Townshend regards it as one of the best songs he's ever written. The title track is a man desperate for his soul to be saved, an empty vessel looking for someone to fulfill him. Would he ever find that peace? Would any of us? It's a strong record with incredible melodies with killer musicians like Simon Phillips, Tony Levin and Pete himself arranging the songs into beautiful classics. This was a fun one to do and if you don't know the album, we think you're gonna like it.

The Who's "My Generation" wasn't born from inspiration—it was commissioned. In a rare interview, Pete Townshend reveals how six fans at London's Goldhawk Club in 1965 directly asked him to write an anthem for their post-war generation. This conversation uncovers how a simple request transformed into rock's definitive youth statement, complete with its rebellious stutter and blues foundations. As Townshend releases his solo anthology during our own era of generational flux, the story behind rock's most famous declaration of youth proves more relevant than ever.

Tony Braunagel, Terry Wilson & Snuffy Walden Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson What do you get when you Zoom with three amigos from Texas who go back over 50 years? A whole lot of fun, rock stories galore, and a ton of love. The Grammy, Emmy, BMI, and Blues Award Winning trio of Snuffy Walden, Tony Braunagel, and Terry Wilson took us back to the 60s in Houston, playing at the Cellar, a strip club in Houston, Tony and Terry off with Johnny Nash and Snuffy off with Stray Dog to open for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They all ended up in London, there was Rabbit, Paul Kossoff, Free, Back Street Crawler, Pete Townshend, and Eric Burdon for all of them, at least twice. Some great war stories along the way… there was Michael Ruff, some crashed cars and trashed hotel rooms. Tony took us through his time with Rickie Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, and The Blues Brothers backup band, leading to be an actor and musician on According to Jim. Snuffy getting Chaka Khan, Donna Summers and then segueing to TV, Thirty Something and The Wonder Years, his first foray in––both Emmy-winning shows that year, leading to the West Wing and his own Emmy. Terry partnering with Teresa James in music and in life, their Grammy nod, his song-writing, producing through his latest for Back Street Crawler's Terry Slesser which reunited him with Tony and Terry. They've shared many stages and sessions over the years, but it's their rock-solid friendship borne in decades-long history that sweetens their song. What a joy to be in their joy. A great time was had by all. Lucky me and you to be a fly on that wall.

Our first proper episode in a few weeks! Welcome back 2Legs Faithful! For E274 we were honoured to have the esteemed Jeff Slate, a New York City based musician and journalist join us! In this episode we cover a lot of ground! Dylan and Macca's late career albums from 1997 on (Time Out Of Mind & Flaming Pie) being the re-launch for a renaissance for both elder statesmen of rock at the time. "A Complete Unknown", The Beatles solo careers, Wings, Dylan/McCartney's approaches to their archival releases; the standards albums that both have done. Dylan's relationship with George/John and the non-existent one with Macca. We even touch on a little bit of The Who! We dish on how they both sound live currently (double standard ?) and the legacy that both will leave behind. Jeff Slate wrote the liner notes to the 50th Anniversary boxset to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017) as well as the Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 14: More Blood; More Tracks (2018). He has collaborated with Pete Townshend on several projects.

The Young Rascals were one of the early groups which would define the genre of "blue eyed soul."  For a period of two to three years, this group would generate hit after hit.  Their third album, Groovin', would close out the era in which they were known as “The Young Rascals,” because follow-up albums would see them using simply the name "The Rascals."  Felix Cavaliere was a classically trained pianist, and joined a band called the Starliters, where he met David Brigati and his younger brother Eddie.  Cavaliere convinced Eddie Brigati and guitarist Gene Cornish to leave the Starliters and form a band, recruiting jazz drummer Dino Danilli to flesh out the band.  They called themselves "Them" until they found out that a group out of the UK was already using that name (Van Morrison's band).  They settled on "The Young Rascals" when comedian Soupy Sales used them as his back-up band when he toured the college circuit in 1965.Much of this album is a collection of singles rather than a cohesive piece of music.  Eight of the eleven songs are either A-side or B-side single releases.The Rascals moved into a more psychedelic direction after this album, and they would be largely done by the early 70's.  They were early inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, receiving that honor in 1997.Bruce presents this soulful album for this week's podcast.Groovin'This signature song from the group almost didn't make it as a single.  Atlantic Records pushed back on this track because it was very different from the sound of their other songs, having a more Latin influence.  The inspiration for the lyrics was Cavaliere's girlfriend Adrienne Buccheri.  He only got to see her on Sundays because he was so occupied with the group, music, and touring on other days. You Better RunMany listeners who grew up in the 80's will be more familiar with Pat Benatar's cover of this song than the Young Rascals' original.  It was released a year before the album as a single, in May 1966.  The song has more of a garage band feel than other songs on the album.A Girl Like YouThis is the lead-off song for the album, and went to number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Upbeat, feel good, this is the opening song of new love.  It starts off subdued with piano and vocals, then builds into the horns and percussion.  If You KnewThis song was released as the B-side to the single "I've Been Lonely Too Long" from their previous album called Collections.  It is the only song on the album to be listed as written by all member of the band.  Most songs were written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel (from the motion picture “The Graduate”) Dustin Hoffman's got his breakthrough role in this coming of age film.  STAFF PICKS:Green Tambourine by the Lemon PipersRob leads off the staff picks with the best known song from a short-lived Ohio band.  Unfortunately the success of this song would cause the record company to pigeonhole the group into doing more songs in the psychedelic genre.  The group was unenthusiastic about this direction, and would leave the label in 1969, dissolving shortly thereafter.Sunshine of Your Love by CreamLynch brings us a signature song from the original supergroup.  The song arose out of a bass riff that Jack Bruce created after seeing Jimi Hendrix for the first time.  Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton take turns with vocals while Ginger Baker utilizes a tribal beat on percussion.I Can See for Miles by The WhoWayne features the only single from the Who album “The Who Sell Out.“  Although it went to number 9 on the US charts, guitarist and writer Pete Townshend expected it to do much better.  The Who made use of the studio as an instrument on this heavier, psychedelic song, using techniques similar to the Beach Boys and the Beatles at the time.I Second That Emotion by Smokey Robinson & the MiraclesBruce closes out the staff picks with a song that originated from a trip Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland took to a Detroit department store in search of a gift for Robinson's wife Claudette.  When Robinson told the salesman of a set of pearls, "I sure hope she likes them," Cleveland accidentally said "I second that emotion," rather than "I second that motion."  The two laughed about it and wrote this song which would go to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Hip Hug-Her by Booker T. & the M.G.'sWe close out with a funky instrumental which was on the charts at the time.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

The Supergroup Eddie Van Halen Almost Created When David Lee Roth left Van Halen in 1985, the band's future was completely up in the air. Eddie Van Halen and his bandmates reached out to several singers to fill the role, but none accepted. These rejections led Eddie to explore new possibilities to keep his music career alive—one of which could have changed rock history forever. However, before this ambitious plan could materialize, Van Halen found their next frontman, Sammy Hagar. Before discovering Hagar, Eddie was uncertain about where his career was headed. With no clear path forward, he envisioned forming an '80s supergroup that could have been groundbreaking. In a 1996 interview with Guitar World, Eddie revealed details about this bold idea, explaining that he had spoken to some of rock's biggest names about joining forces. “My plan at the time—and I wouldn't necessarily have called it a solo record because Mike [Anthony] and Al [Alex Van Halen] would have played on it—was to get Mike Rutherford [Genesis], Pete Townshend, Phil Collins, and Joe Cocker, all of whom I had talked to,” Eddie said. He even had a specific vision for the project, including an early version of Right Now, which later became a hit for Van Halen. “I had written ‘Right Now' back then, and I wanted Joe Cocker to sing on it. It would have been f— great. That's what I wanted to do—write a record where I did all the music and had a different singer on each song,” he added. Despite the incredible potential, the project never got off the ground. Eddie admitted that logistical challenges—such as conflicting schedules, contractual obligations, and record label interference—made it nearly impossible. “Logistically, it would have been a nightmare—people on tour, contractual agreements, companies pissing and moaning—and we'd probably only be finishing it now,” he reflected. “It would have been fun.” Though Van Halen ultimately thrived with Sammy Hagar, it's fascinating to think about what could have been if Eddie's supergroup had become a reality. While we're grateful for the music Van Halen created with Hagar, this glimpse into Eddie's musical vision leaves us wondering about the alternate history that never happened. Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen. Step into the world of rock and roll legends as we delve deep into the history, music, and trivia surrounding one of the most iconic bands of all time. Join us as we explore Van Halen's storied career, from their electrifying performances to the making of their timeless hits.

What is power pop? The Who's Pete Townshend coined the term in a May 1967 interview promoting their latest single "Pictures of Lily". He said: "Power pop is what we play—what the Small Faces used to play, and the kind of pop the Beach Boys played in the days of 'Fun, Fun, Fun' which I preferred." So take one part Moptop Beatles melodies and harmonies, add in the powerful punch of The Who and The Kinks , mix in some great songs about unrequited love and voila, power pop is born. Despite the persistent pattern of great power pop bands being criminally under-loved, this hearty genre has had a long shelf life and still gets love to this day. Brent Stranathan and Jeremy Levy of the great power pop band Near Beer join to help ATTT scratch the surface of this beloved genre.

We've decided to wrap up 2024 with a look at a few films that are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. 1999 has become known as one of the best movie years of all time. While we've already touched on some of the biggest films of that year (THE MATRIX, FIGHT CLUB), there are a handful of films from that year that may not fit into one of our long form series, and we wanted to make sure they got their due. So for this (short) series, each of our hosts have picked out a film from 1999 that they'd like to discuss, starting with Todd's pick, THE IRON GIANT. Brad Bird's debut film has gone on to become a beloved animation classic, but its story didn't start that way: When it debuted in 1999, the film — thanks to a practically non-existent marketing campaign from Warner Bros — came and went from theaters with most audiences totally unaware of its existence. But in the quarter century since, it has not only managed to find an audience, but it's gained a reputation as one of the greatest animated films of all time. In this episode, we trace its origins (which involves, we kid you not, the death of Sylvia Plath and a Pete Townshend album), all the way through its development, release, and eventual rediscovery. We will also, as always, discuss our own thoughts and feelings on the film, its legacy, and the important lessons it has to teach us. Want to support the show?

We've had legends on the Talkhouse Podcast before, but perhaps none quite as legendary as Pete Townshend, who's in conversation on today's episode with a younger band he recently worked with, The Wild Things. It seems a bit silly to offer a short bio of Townshend—after all, you have chosen to listen to a podcast about music, so you're probably familiar—but here goes: Pete Townshend is the guitarist and primary songwriter of The Who, a band that cracked open the world of rock and roll in the early 1960s and inarguably changed the direction of popular music forever. He's often credited as the first guitarist to treat feedback as an essential part of his sound, influencing the likes of Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, among many others. And that was all 50 years ago: Townshend has built on the legacy of The Who since, continuing to make music with the only other surviving member, Roger Daltrey, as well as writing books, musicals, and opera. He also keeps his eyes and ears out for new music, even at age 79, which is where the other half of today's chat comes in. Two members of the UK band The Wild Things, Sydney Rae White and Rob Kendrick, met Townshend when they were cast in the musical stage production of The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia. Though she's spent much of her career acting—you may have seen her in the Netflix series Uncle or the Michael Keaton movie American Assassin—White's passion seems to be focused at the moment on the band, which also includes her brother Cameron White and drummer Pete Wheeler. When it came time to record new Wild Things music, Townshend offered his help both as a musical ear and a man with a studio, which resulted in the new album Afterglow. Fittingly for a man with Townshend's history, Afterglow is something of a concept album, which is a big topic of discussion here. Check out “My Heart is in New York” from Afterglow, which features a guest vocal from Townshend. Townshend and the Wild Things talk about telling stories through your music, about concept albums, about working together to make Afterglow, about trying to connect with people in an overwhelming media world, and much, much more. Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:32 – Start of the chat/the concept behind Afterglow 6:55 – Why Pete wanted to work with The Wild Things 16:06 – "You know, this is a real fucking Rick Rubin conversation!" 21:58 – The advantages to being able to experiment in the studio 29:15 – "The thing about Sid is that she can do fucking anything."

Send us a textJoin us on this week's episode as we discuss the the 1970 album by Thunderclap Newman: Hollywood Dream.  Thunderclap Newman were comprised of Townshend protege (drummer, songwriter and lead singer) Speedy Keen, a 15-year-old guitar prodigy named Jimmy McColluch, and the band's namesake - the eccentric self-taught piano player Andy "Thunderclap" Newman. Hollywood Dream (their one and only album) was recorded to capitalize on the success of Thunderclap Newman's surprising number 1 UK hit "Something in the Air." The band was the brainchild of Pete Townshend and Who manager/producer, Kit Lambert. Townshend had been working on separate projects for each when the when his work on the Who's Tommy forced him scale back his outside interests. His solution was to cobble together a band featuring the three uneasy cohorts from different musical backgrounds.   The result is an album that showcases each members strengths, and while it makes for compelling listen, it is often times a frustrating one. Upon its release, Hollywood Dream was met with critical raves and commercial disinterest. But the album, and the story behind it, make for one heck of a rock and roll tale. Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

This week we are talking about bands that have rock stars in them: Supergroups and Offshoots. Captain Content reminds us that a band consisting of well-known artists from other bands does not always equal great success. We dive into some of the more obscure supergroups and offshoots that didn't break with huge mainstream success or stay around very long.What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we talk exclusively about Supergroups featuring famous solo artists and band members along with, Offshoots which are bands that contain the bulk of a previous incarnation of a famous band. We hope that we turn you on to something new.Songs this week include:Neurotic Outsiders – “Nasty Ho” from Neurotic Outsiders (1996)Thrasher – “Bad Boys” from Thrasher (1985)Heavy Bones – “4:AM T-M” from Heavy Bones (1991)Ultra Bomb – “Time To Burn” from Time To Burn (2022)Saints Of The Underground - “Tomorrow Never Comes” from Love The Sin, Hate The Sinner (2008)Mad Season – “Lifeless Dead” from Above (1995)Far Corporation – “Stairway To Heaven” from Division One (1985)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

One of the greatest  and most admired rock n' rollers of all time talks about his long and fascinating life in music. Pete Townshend, guitarist and songwriter for The Who, now 79 years old, describes the band's formation in high school and the tension in his relationship with frontman Roger Daltrey. He recounts how he became the original smasher of guitars. He openly discusses the emotional and sexual abuse he suffered as a child, and considers how it affected his life as an artist. And he speculates on why his rock opera “Tommy” connects today with audiences, 50 years on (it has to do with COVID). Oh, and he drops plenty of f-bombs! Hey, it's rock n' roll.
