I know what his cup of tea is as well. We've been waiting quite a while for his research to get published.

[@FFGG22E]

lol, yeah. his findings were that when poor people do what he did they go to jail

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

@@FFGG22E 😂 not sure why i'm laughing cos it's all too true

2:05 props to the guy who yelled pedophilia lol

🤣

[@FFGG22E]

he was just doing 'research'

@@FFGG22E you really have to read Pete Townshend’s book to get his side of the story. If he were guilty he would’ve gotten A LOT more than just having his name put on a list of the most minimal of offenders for 5 years. And law enforcement _had_ to technically give him some sort of charge for his (as Roger Daltrey even said) extremely naive and stupid error in judgment. But Pete has done a lot for survivors of SA. Plus, he would’ve been ostracized from the entire music business. Even though it’ll make you wanna barf, read up on sickos like Gary Glitter or Jimmy Savile (don’t care if I spelled it wrong - “vile” belongs in the disgusting monster’s name). Those guys had dark, disturbing, disgusting and evil history of offenses. Pete didn’t have _any_ history like those vile creatures had and most of all no one has ever accused him of any wrongdoing. But try and find a copy of his book. It’s really worth hearing his side of the story. And it’s only fair. Plus, it’s always great to hear epic Who stories, of course! 🙂 Cheers!

@@beyondthehorizon75 bullshit,,, he had a great lawyer..... why does anyone need to pay for download to see that stuff for??? how does watching that inform him of his life or anyone elses, he was jacking off to it... He was fortunate to be treated as a member of the upper class and got away with a crime ,that is how england rolls. every criminal can make their crimes seem more normal and less heinousl when they tell you the version they want you to hear in their books

[@warshipsatin8764]

i love when he talks shit about other bands lol

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

What Pete said is actually pretty diplomatic. What is this, the Guided by Sour Grapes Tour?

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

Whoosh.

[@beyondthehorizon75]

@pillettadoinswartsh4974 I agree! Pete can be pretty brutal towards others, and that’s what I love about him; his honesty. Deep down I think he likes GBV and has for a very long time. 👍

[@beyondthehorizon75]

And yeah, it’s pretty sour grapes to me as well.

[@raycroal]

@@beyondthehorizon75 pretty brutal towards children too

[@uncooldispatch5438]

No sky is fkin killer !!

[@uncooldispatch5438]

New songs usually suck - but not that one ! Hahahah 😂😂😂😂 he’s witty af on the tequila I tell ya !!!❤❤❤

[@user-to2gh7sg3l]

Give a listen to songs like Jar or Cardinals or Winter Cows and you realize there's something completely unique and memorable with his music. The old line up is all that works for me though. Things went downhill after Mag Earwig.

[@FFGG22E]

not entirely, not at all really

[@joemoore8895]

Wow, Bob was pretty pissed at Pete. Fueled by alcohol. Lil' bit!

[@oppothumbs1]

Talking like you know. I can't really understand what Bob is saying. An interpretation would help or just to know why he's pissed at Pete. Could it have anything to do with Pete's pompous songs that followed Tommy?

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

@@oppothumbs1 I understood every single word and trust me, it's hilarious. It's got nothing to do with songs that followed Tommy.

[@HamCar1000]

Bee thousand sounds like Pete townson

[@crud420]

you're telling me the guy who wrote i'm a boy is funny? i'm ruined man.

[@SA-ff9uc]

I heard Pete Townsend's cup of tea isn't a cup of tea.

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

It's a furry cup - without the fur.

[@indykalloo8565]

Get sober then talk. Let's just set the record straight.Pete Townshend is one of the greatest song writers, rhythm guitarists,and stage act of this world and has been over the last half century and longer. Who are you ????

[@unionprounion6356]

Indy Kalloo Pete's new band "celebrity pedophile"

[@williammanly6301]

pollard is a huge who/townshend fan, FWIW

[@unionprounion6356]

Well, I'm not pete Townsend. And by that i mean, I'm not a extremely overrated guitarist and pedophile doing "research" to "expose" the British government. That aside, when comparing the two, Pollard's writing skills expose Pete's simplistic and turgid shit creations for exactly what they are. pete's probably somwhere in southeast Asia right now letting his "love open doors" for little kids to be molested.

Learn, and then come back.
