I love The Who, and think Townsend is a brilliant songwriter but he just sounds so miserable any time he is interviewed and that’s been true from the beginning. I don’t know if it’s from being a disillusioned dreamer or if he’s just a miserable SOB but to listen to him is to hear a list of things and people that he has a grievance against.

Oh, he’s an artist with a high performing brain. I can forgive him that for the music he’s written. Here is another one.

I liked the Who as a kid, then sort of lost interest, then rediscovered (how can you rediscover The Who? , their music is still everywhere, nevertheless ) them through the magic of YouTube and started listening to the amazing Pete Townshend demos, then reading more about the band and their music. They were also one of the few bands that was often better live than in studio. The concert for New York performance was one for the ages, obviously not just for the music, but time and place.

I hooked up a turntable for the first time in many years last night. Then I started digging through the big record collection I inherited. One of the records I pulled to be listened to soon is Live at Leeds. I'm really looking forward to hearing it!

I remember the interviews back in the 90’s when he first retired because of his hearing. His down-in-the-dumps attitude, along with his normal pompous, whiney bitch attitude made his usual insufferability even worse.

I know the interviews to which you’re referring, but how is this one of them? Ok , he mentions pain from the past & how he’s not thrilled with touring, but he also says he’s enjoying living in the moment & that this is the most beautiful time of his life. For a Pete interview, it's pretty mellow.
