Pete Townshend and the Who, announced the release date for his memoir titled, “Who I Am”, set to release Oct. 8th in US, and Oct. 11th in the UK.

The book will focus on everything about Pete’s life. It will focus on his music career and his personal life outside of music. All of it.

More on the story, here.

I’m very excited for this book. Why? Because I am a huge fan of Pete Townshend and the Who. I’ve been a long time fan of the Who. I’m a fan of Pete’s solo career as well. The guy is a musical genius, love him or hate him.

I know Pete is accused of being a pedophile by many, but I think that is pretty much one of the reasons for this book. He wants people to understand him better in a more positive direction.

Plus, more importantly, I’m more interested in reading about Pete’s musical career. I want to know how he ended up joining the Who. How he came up with smashing guitars and doing that spin wheel arm thing he does on stage, when he plays the guitar. I want to learn more insight about the Who’s career as well. I want to know more about his obsession with guitars and stuff.

No matter what you think of Pete and no matter what happens to him legally, he will always be a rock n’ roll legend. That won’t change.

The Who were one of the greatest rock n’ roll bands on the planet, I fuckin’ loved them and still do. I’ll be getting this book for sure.
