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.
Pete Townshend

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.

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.

We have to focus on his early work, and just one or two of his movies, and elements of his TV shows, to keep his memory pure.

I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man.

Good old Pete. That's me. But I find it hard to think of myself in the first person when I'm writing about The Who. So many times he has willingly sat down to write about the good old Who. Isn't he too old to masturbate?
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.'

Enjoy life. And be careful what you pray for - remember, you will get it all.

It makes me angry when people insist that I have a responsibility to do what they think I should do.

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