Pete Townshend Interview in Rolling Stone
Pete Townshend tells it like it is: “I don’t think that the big boomer bands are going to be able to do this much longer. I really don’t. We’re fucking lucky to be able to do it, but I don’t think we’ll be able to do it much longer. I don’t want to go out and see Bob Dylan. I don’t want to go out and see the Stones. I wouldn’t pay money to go see the Who, not even with new songs. I wouldn’t pay money to go see Crosby, Stills and Nash. They fucking make me sick. When I say that, what I mean is I’m ageist about it. I don’t want to look at these old guys in their self-congratulatory mode.”

Thanks Pete! I saw the Who recently and didn’t pay a dime for the self-congratulatory spectacle.

Hey Pete,
I can help you with the guilt…just send a check or money order to me in the amount of $1000.00 US funds that doesn’t include the dinner…see you in Grand Rapids December 5…your loyal looser fan Sam!
