Pete Townshend is the most erudite and intellectual Pop Star ever. He is always a good interview and does have something non-trite to say. He is also fearless in his honesty and never minces words. A breath of fresh air, and after seeing him play live with the Who multiple times he is one of the greatest Rockers of all time and a wonderfully engaging frontman.

I never got the hang of crutches so I was unable to walk for almost the last half of the year. Being able to keep working from home while I wasn't ambulatory was great, but I definitely went extra stir crazy just existing in my reclining chair for months.

In 1966, while in a seminary high school, studying to become a priest, I saw a TV production (with about 30 of my classmates) of three bands playing in England: Graham Bond Organization, Manfred Mann (if my memory is correct on those two) and The Who. The Who opened up a brave new world for me with My Generation. Later, I became a bass player, but was nearly ruined by trying to be John Entwistle and play leads... A few years later, my band mates and I saw The Who in Fargo ND, where they played with Herman's Hermits. An interesting mix! Between the band's prodigious musical talents and Pete's amazingly brilliant creative mind, we all have had the chance to be a part of something very special. Thank you. Carl Weimer.

It's really nice to see Pete at ease and "pleasant". So many interviews he's often bitter and surly.
