Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend is the legendary frontman for The Who, one of the most influential bands of all time. Townshend is responsible for having written over 100 songs and rock operas in the band’s important catalogue. The Who’s first album, My Generation, went Gold in the UK, and eight more have gone gold and platinum on either side of the Atlantic. Townshend is one of Rolling Stone magazine’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Away from music, he has also written essays for Rolling Stone, and in 2005 published the novella The Boy Who Heard Music. He lives in London, England.

Quotes

"Mr. Townshend's self-portrait is raw and unsparing...as intimate and as painful as a therapy session, while chronicling the history of the band as it took shape in the Mod scene in 1960s London and became the very embodiment of adolescent rebellion and loud, anarchic rock 'n' roll."


- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Unusually frank and moving.[Who I Am] isn't one of those rock memoirs that puts the what before the why. His past is a puzzle Mr. Townshend is sweating to decipher."


- The Guardian (UK)
