I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Image
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

I see a boy with his mother's ambition, performing for love, trained in submission.
Pete Townshend

In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping, hear the waterfall of women weeping. Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling, hear the prostituted children calling.

Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
Pete Townshend
Image
Deep inside of every human being is this feeling that nothing is ever going to be complete, that the circle will never connect - and that itself is the secret to infinity.
Pete Townshend
Image
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.

Keith Moon, God rest his soul, once drove his car through the glass doors of a hotel, driving all the way up to the reception desk, got out and asked for the key to his room.

Give love, and keep blood between brothers

The fact of the matter is, I'm f**king brilliant. Not 'was' brilliant. 'Am' brilliant.

There's a man upon that ledge, he's only cleaning windows. What a shame for the pain we're missing. Gonna lean back on my wall and pray for him to fall.

Image
I respect those who follow religious routes only if they seem to me to be morally proper and in accord with the modern world.

Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you.
