People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Hope I die before I get old.

We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.

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