• Pete Townshend on Partying With Paul Vs. John

    "If you go to a party and Paul McCartney's there, he'll spend all of the
    time talking to you about music, about how he digs us and this and that
    and about the feel of the songs.

    If you go to a party and John's Lennon's there, he'll spend all of the
    time telling you that he's John Lennon, granted it's a great time as
    he'll just get stoned and make a fool of himself, but that's the
    difference."

    We all know what sort of parties Pete used to like going to...
    at least he got lucky and they dropped the charges.

    He was writing about the issue of child abuse in his online journal at
    that time.

    He also dealt with that theme in his autobiography and interviews.

    It's in the Who's songs from practically the beginning.

    No indication ever appeared that he had done anything inappropriate with
    young people. His known relationships are all normal.

    On balance, the "research" defense holds up.

    Yeah, his excuse was!

    Doing "research" IIRC... yeah, right Pete. <rolls eyes>
