More From Pete Townshend
- "I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called ‘rock and roll.’"
- "I want to age with some dignity."
- "I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion."
