Rock seems an entirely undeserving art-form to have been graced by such a brilliant songwriter and thinker. Pete is on the cusp of proving that angry young men from the 70's can continue to play music into their 70's with dignity, relevance and a hard won wisdom. A full empty glass to you PeteBeer

Yes. Happy Borthday to Pete. Happy Borthday to Pete. Happy Borthday dear Peter. Happy birthday to you.

Maybe it would have been better to wait until next year when he turns the BIG SEVEN O.

Happy birthday Pete! Born on this day 19th May 1945, Pete Townshend, guitar, vocals, The Who, (1965 UK No.2 single 'My Generation' 1967 US No.9 single 'I Can See For Miles' plus over 20 other UK Top 40 hit singles, 16 US Top 40 singles and rock opera albums 'Tommy' & 'Quadrophenia'). Townshend became known for his eccentric stage style during the band's early days, swinging his right arm against the guitar strings in his signature move; a windmill style, often smashing guitars on stage.
