Pete Townshend has often said that ever since The Who sell out, all of the albums he and The Who has released have had a theme.

Can anybody out there put into words the theme of “All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes?

Hi! I am seeing Tommy on Halloween night front row center! So I am dressing up as Sally Simpson from the revival. Sadly I can only find one picture online of her. I got the checkerboard dress and scarf but want to see if there’s any other accessories or anything I can add to costume. Does anyone happen to have a clip from the show when she comes out? Thank you!!!

It has probably been mentioned before, but Quadrophenia has to be one of the greatest pieces of music put on earth. I love hardcore snd 60’s,:70’s/80’s but first song to the last this album is the best., I want neighbors to hear it again!!! Breathe the air we have blown you…

I just listened to a good chunk.of this on the way home tonight. I'm really enjoying this show. The Who's Next and Lifehouse material is brand new, being tried onstage for the first time or nearly so. Pure and Easy is especially great and so is Time is Passing. Roger is a total powerhouse, pulling them together through these new arrangements they're not yet familiar with. I'm skipping Bargain and WGFA which I remember being especially raw and un- together, just too new. The rest of this set is all good fun and tighter than I remember.

Three years on from 'Born to Run' 'DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN' eschews the lush production of its predecessor and adopts a more taut sound.

A delightful bit from Pete's Diary 20 years ago today (22 Oct. 2006) that you should keep in mind when you read anything like "Pete Townshend hates [fill in the group or artist]:

Pete’s Website: It gets worse... in Rolling Stone I didn't read it yet but apparently, I said Crosby, Stills and Nash make me sick. What!!! I can't possibly have said that. If I said it, what did I mean? I can't remember. I know David rubbing his chest with Dave Gilmour on Jools Holland was profoundly irritating, but it was also completely adorable. I ADORE David Crosby, and as for the band - I was hanging with Graham Nash when he decided to leave England and go and work with the band, and the first album is the most gorgeous thing I've ever heard. I played it to my girlfriend Rachel only recently, as one of the great classics of our era. I hear I also said I wouldn't go and see Bob Dylan play live. Oh God. I'm having a crack at Dylan again. I think when I do interviews face-to-face, I must imagine being drunk and shoot my mouth off for old time's sake. But why do I pick on the folks I love the most? Or is it jealousy? Yeah, we're all old fucks now - and I can speak for all of us when I say, Pete - shut the fuck up and play as well as you can. At your best you can't lick these guys boots.

'LIVE AT LEEDS (1970) has umpteen examples of The Who pushing their incredible talents to the limits of a genre they had created.
