Limp Bizcut- I wish i could write like Pete Townshend can. Then i would have hits.

Godfather of rock, lead gitarist, vocalist and main composer for The Who.
Falsely accused of downloading child porn in 2003, and found innocent later. Ridiculous accusation, since he was abused as a child himself and used his music to come to grips with it.

Besides an unlikable guy with lots of money and a talent for playing guitar (and not beating someone with one as a weapon, since that allegedly got him knocked out) who would Pete Townshend be without the Who? Is it somehow unfair to Pete Townshend to think or say any of that?
Roger Daltry makes it sound like he wouldn't be anybody in particular without the Who, but really the Who was still a likeable band with him as the face of the band (before the 80s). It hasn't been the same since Pete Townshend started convincing everyone else in the band that he was the best thing to ever happen to the Who, and that nobody else was good enough to question him. At least Roger Daltry seems like a guy who had some heart.

To break something, very often a guitar. Taken from the guitar-smashing habit of Pete Townshend, lead guitarist for one of the greatest rock bands of all time, The Who.
