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.

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.

Viewing any kind of sexually stimulating material (not necessarily illegal or even explicit) on the internet. In common use in northern England, and possibly elsewhere, this expression originates from pop musician Pete Townshend's explanation of why he gave his credit card details to a website containing visual depictions of children being sexually abused - that he wished to view the material for research purposes. Although the implication of the term is that Townshend was lying he was, in fact, cleared of all charges.
