It wasn't just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.
Pete Townshend

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.

Although I was well past my teenage troubles, our music was specifically designed to lubricate the passage from adolescence to adulthood.

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