I sing my heart out to the wide open spaces I sing my heart out to the infinite sea I sing my vision to the sky-high mountains I sing my song to the free.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

Image
Give blood, but you may find that blood is not enough.
Pete Townshend
Image
I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
Pete Townshend
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.
Pete Townshend
Image
I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

Rock is very, very important and very, very ridiculous.

The Who got paid 4000 pounds during those days, but we always smashed our equipment that cost more than 5000 pounds.

Respect yourself. Try to remember that not everything in life can be perfect. You will make mistakes. That's inevitable. But you are not ugly. You will only be ugly when you behave in an ugly way.

Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play.

Punk rock was the tsunami that threatened to drown us all in 1977.
Pete Townshend

Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
Pete Townshend
Image
It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.
Pete Townshend
Image
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
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
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.
Pete Townshend
Image
I don't need to fight / To prove I'm right / I don't need to be forgiven

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.
Pete Townshend
Image
But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.

The circling horse was an oblique warning that i would repeat the same mistake eternally. Would the law of averages allow it? Can anything continue without change? Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.
