Is your perception of 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' so shallow that it's violated by dancing raisins?
Pete Townshend

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.

I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
Pete Townshend
Image
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.

Even as age humbles me it feeds my arrogance. There is still nothing that interests me as much as myself.

Looking back, I don't know why we needed it to be quite so loud all the time.
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.
