Pete Townshend (born May 19, 1945) is a guitarist and songwriter of UK rock band The Who. He was known for his eccentric stage style, often interrupting concerts with lengthy introductions of songs, and sometimes smashing his guitar on stage. He currently resides in Richmond, UK. He is married to Karen Astley, daughter of composer Ted Astley, and has three children. He was born in Ealing, London. In 1962, Townshend and his art school friend John Entwistle founded their first band, The Confederates, a Dixieland duet featuring Townshend on banjo and Entwistle on horn. From this beginning they moved on to The Detours, a skiffle band fronted by then sheet-metal welder Roger Daltrey, which, under Townshend's leadership, would metamorphosize into The Who.

(Submit New Pete Townshend Lyrics) (Submit New Pete Townshend Lyrics) Review about Pete Townshend One of the Greatest Songs & Bands of all TIme | Reviewer: Jordi Antoine Gauthier-Rastrick Valdés ------ About the song Save It for Later performed by Pete Townshend Seriously and without question this has to be one of the greatest songs of its era. The English Beat were beyond doubt an influence above most in their moment, and phenomenal in concert. I can't even begin to describe how putting on one of their records would take me no matter how foul a mood I was in to a higher elevated stratosphere of joy. Thank you for all the music. You made me want to dance. I salute you... The Universal Prayer | Reviewer: John W. Anderson ------ About the song Parvardigar performed by Pete Townshend O Parvardigar is Pete Townshend's interpretation of Meher Baba's Universal Prayer. It is, in my humble opinion, the greatest song of worship ever written. It addresses the fact that there is but ONE God, Who spans time & has been called by many names. I became introduced to the song as a young teenager when I checked out the album "Who Came First" from the local library in my small Mississippi Delta town. I was blown away by the beauty of the instrumentation & sincerity of the lyrics. If I had to pick a song to sing to God himself, this would be the one. How I found MEHER BABA through Pete | Reviewer: kama krishna ------ About the song A Little Is Enough performed by Pete Townshend Well what can I say about PT; Reading the liner notes on the BEST OF PT album opened up a pandora's box for me in terms of finding my TEACHER/GURU; I am from India where Gurus are dime a dozen & it took me all the way to New York City to find my GURU; Meher Baba is a PROPHET for all who experience him through his teachings not just the academic aspect. The link between Science & Spirituality is inherent in his teachings via Darwin's theory of Evolution, Sufism, Advaitism, Quantum Mechanics & so on. Thank you PETE for bringing this awareness through your liner notes & song. You are a genius on the path of self-realisation. Question about Slit Skirts | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slit Skirts performed by Pete Townshend Love this song - but does anyone have thought on verse "And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil"? I'd love to know the meaning Thx. Classic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slit Skirts performed by Pete Townshend If anyone has ever been through a breakup of a long relationship and the awkward period afterwards, you can relate to this song. Some really visual references in the song. Running into your ex and avoiding "catching each other's eyes". Fearing relationships: "No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned". Growing old alone: "Can't pretend that growing older never hurts." The song goes on to show the main character (Pete?) in a go-nowhere relationship with a woman who is constantly comparing him to her former lover... never as good... always disappointing: "A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled." I always liked this song but it took on a whole new meaning when I was in a similar position, maybe 7 years ago. Now it is one of my all-time favorite songs. It really captures the pain and fear from a time when we are most vulnerable. Great Song | Reviewer: Who Fan ------ About the song Hiding Out performed by Pete Townshend Look deep into what the words mean. I think there is a little bit of everyone in this song. Safe, secure and hiding from the truth. Nice Job, Pete. What more can you ask for | Reviewer: David ------ About the song A Little Is Enough performed by Pete Townshend Well, this song begins in layers. It ends with a unique coda. Brilliantly composed adn methodical throughout. But then again it is Pete, just after Keith died.
