observations about life.

The Acid Queen

Walkin' and Smokin' ... and Goofin'

Some of the the funniest moves I've ever seen, even from Pete.


What a cutie.

Love every minute of it!*

This is such a lovely, honest, intimate and gentle interview with Pete. Such a deep heart. And the one-to-one over-the-phone aspect of it makes it feel so personal to listen to, like you're right there. Very sweet and insightful, probably the best I've heard. It really tugs at my heart, right and left.



1) What a strange opener question. Pete's answer is interesting. I think they're talking about this image. I love his honesty and sweetness!


2)"it's the end ... of what I used to do." :( He sounds so sad here. :( But he sounds happy about the end of the effing videos and the huge effing football stadiums! Funny, honest Pete. "I find the world just too big" awwwww Melts my heart.

NOT very GOOD at the PIANO!?

NOOOo....WAY!


3) Awww... he freaked at the 150,000 people. GOD, I wish I hadn't missed this. Where the hell was I???? Awww!... "I don't want to cheat people".... :) A story called "Stella" ???
Oh, and he mentions Trilby's Piano. :) awwww....
"I'm not a fan of movies, I'm afraid... the composer's art is a higher art than the film director's art." I would tend to agree (not that I know anything!)
He never seems to enjoy anything! Awww... poor Pete.

4) my favorite part of this segment is hearing Pete say words like, "Alladin, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King" :D I dunno, it just cracks me up. Probably coz I'm an ex Disney cast member. "The characters keep bursting into song. You can't do that in movies anymore." He's so right about that! So FUNNY!

5) "felt like a bit of an imposter... didn't feel entirely comfortable." I love Pete's honesty. The cross-pollination of our music worlds is certainly cool though. Then Pete's using the inner recognition of the music and using it for the mod movement. He used it for a real purpose. "You can be ordinary ... but you can also be special... even if you're a very simple soul." Love that. Found himself by losing himself. There's a lot of the song, "I'm One" in this. Congregation of like-minded spirits. :)


6) "My Generation was a very, very skillful bit of songwriting." Indeed. :) I didn't realize Pete had to throw some Beach Boys in just to please Keith Moon. haha. So accomodating. :) "Young is what the heart is... what the soul is." Right, Pete. :) xoxo

^{*unlike Pete, who "hated every second of being in The Who".}

We love you

Too CUTE!

Clark Kent.... haha

Who Are You (part two)

Pete Townshend - Who Are You 1994
Uploaded by IvorTheEngineDriver. - See the latest featured music videos.

Here's a great find -- it's the vid of the song I posted on Sept 6 (below)
Incredible. I love this live rendition. I guess those of you who have Roger Daltrey's Celebration of the Music of Pete Townshend concert on video have seen this; I have the concert CD, but I've never seen this before until now. Love it! The entire concert is fantastic... but the video footage of this number (with the "master" himself) is just... perfectamundo! Complete with spinning cellos!

Who Are You?

Music is from Roger Daltrey's Celebration of the Music of Pete Townshend CD. Pete guests on this song. Who'da guessed?

Anyway, I highly recommend the CD (or DVD). It rocks! (as you can tell)

^{You won't find this on YouTube; I made it myself just for TOWHM. Hope you like it!}

Hot off the 'Tube

more adorable Pete.

Pete Heaven (for those suffering Pete withdrawal)

Part 1"...my magic organ..."

Part 2"don't TOUCH THAT!"

Part 3"poor me, poor me, poor me, poor me..."

Part 4"It looked like a SMUDGE!"

Part 5"They've been chewing up my furniture..."

Part 6"a bit panic-stricken"

Part 7"..Yes, we KNOW, Pete...."

Part 8"... he's dreaming up... some mad scheme..."

Looks like I'm the only one left living here. :-)

Here's a pic of Pete I love. It's my current computer monitor wallpaper. Looks great huge!


Happy Birthday, dear Pete.

"That's not what I said at all!"

I love this. First of all, that hand that reaches in at about 32 seconds and is then swiped away. And Pete's understanding the German and disputing what the reporter said. (She said that he said it would great if he and the whole band went on tour: "That's not what I said at all!")

Then how Pete apparently feels bad for telling the reporter "wanna translate that?" and so he lovingly pats her on the back in a conciliatory fashion. And finally how he gets sort of awkwardly bored and distracted-looking as the one reporter continues in German. LOL

So cute.

Pete talks of Tom Wright

Just found this YouTube, HOT OFF THE PRESS (i.e., I'm the FIRST VIEWER!)



I've got the book (RoadWork). Excellent. Lots of stories and pictures inside you'll not find elsewhere. My favorite is the story of Pete in a New Orleans bar. :-)

** 1993 interview resurrected **

I've resurrected an old NPR interview with Pete, just because......

(wish I'd taken the time to post an old Rockline (holiday encore presentation) interview back in January when it was still live, but alas it's gone now (they only keep them up for 2 weeks)...... Anyway, maybe it'll resurface again one day; it was a really good one! We'll have to keep an eye (ear) out for it to be replayed again maybe next year.

I remember this NPR interview was good too (as I recall, it was a pretty substantial one).

NOTE: you need RealPlayer to listen to it ... which I don't even have installed on my computer right now! So ... I'll leave it to the rest of you.... to ...

ENJOY.

P.S. THE NEXT POST WILL BE THE 100^th POST! (who wants the honor??)

Interview with an Alright Kid

From the Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog (of all places)....

A rare instance of a kid conducting an interview with Pete. We see a whole other side of Pete in his responses, dontcha think? I believe the boy is the son of a woman who once dated John Entwistle, so it's not just some random kid.

RENO, NV - February 23, 2007. Interview conducted by Olivier Curial, a 13-year old 7th Grade Student at Kingsbury Middle School, Lake Tahoe. Place of interview was back room of Pete Townshend tour bus after the Reno concert.....

P. Here we go!

O. So where were you born?

P. I was born…right where I live now…in a place called Isleworth…read the rest here... ^{[a more readable rendition]}
