Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired.
Pete Townshend
Image
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.

Give blood, but you may find that blood is not enough.

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
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.

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

Everything that has befallen you happened simply cause it crossed your mind.

Beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real.
