As I mentioned in September, Pete Townshend has been posting diary entries from The Who tour. His very recent writings from their UK tour are particularly thoughtful and personal. He talks about him and Roger being uncomfortable with stage banter, being on both sides of meeting famous people, and why sometimes on stage he feels like he is being followed around by a herd of manic elephants. And there are plenty of live MP3s, free for the taking. “I HOPE I DIE BEFORE I GET OLD was obviously ironic even though written by someone who was young enough to afford to be literal. And yet I was ironic. Why? Because it is vital to the pop process.”
