I recently finished "reading" the Townshed book... well I didn't really "read" it, I listened to Pete read it! This is how I survived the recent "Sandy" power outage without committing any acts of violence. I get very testy without power. I'm actually more of reader than a book "listener" - but this is the second musician's biography I have listened to read by the subject/author. Keith Richard's "Life" was the first, although Keith didn't read his entire book Johnny Depp and Joe Hurley did a hell of job with the rest. Check out the audio books of Pete here and Keith here.
It was a great listen and understandably put me in a bit of a Townshend listening frenzy, which I thought I would share with all of you today. These are some of the songs I had to hear during and after finishing the book. Enjoy!
The version we are most familiar with.
My favorite version.
Just to hear the band have some fun.
Now this is ROCK!!!!!!!
An album that has aged remarkably well.
This song will always bring me back to the Jersey Shore on the beach just before sunrise.
To be continued...
