First Billy Corgan and now Pete Townshend, the rhythm guitarist for the Who, is now writing his autobiography. It doesn’t have a title yet, but it is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2012.
More on it, here.
I know Pete Townshend is not everyone’s favorite musician anymore because of his past with the law (his child porn case years back), but I think people should read this book to understand him better. I don’t think he’s a pedophile. What he did was research for this memoir ’cause something bad happen in his past that I think he wants to explain in this book.
I’m a huge fan of the Who. They are the most underrated classic rock band. Loved the Who for years, ever since I was a child. I’ve always been a fan of Pete’s guitar playing.
When Harper Collins release this, I’m pretty sure child organizations are going to try to stop them from publishing it, just like they tried to stop the NFL from booking them to play the Superbowl that one year.
I’ll probably buy the book when it comes out ’cause I’m more interested in reading about the Who’s music career.
