More quotes by Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend
I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine café.
Pete Townshend
Rock 'n' Roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them

Pete Townshend
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.
Pete Townshend
Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired.
Pete Townshend
I'M FREE! - I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free - I'm free, An' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
Pete Townshend
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.
Pete Townshend
There's no easy way to be free.
Pete Townshend
I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
Pete Townshend
I want fast food, pretty naked girls preferably tattooed.
Pete Townshend
