Pete Townshend

The Who's "My Generation" wasn't born from inspiration—it was commissioned. In a rare interview, Pete Townshend reveals how six fans at London's Goldhawk Club in 1965 directly asked him to write an anthem for their post-war generation. This conversation uncovers how a simple request transformed into rock's definitive youth statement, complete with its rebellious stutter and blues foundations. As Townshend releases his solo anthology during our own era of generational flux, the story behind rock's most famous declaration of youth proves more relevant than ever.

Pete Townshend interview Dec. 6th, 1979. Three days after Cincinnati. Interviewed by Kid Leo WMMS Cleveland. in the background you can hear people playing the old arcade game Space Invaders. In Roger's book he said the game had a calming effect on Pete and one was eventually donated to the tour. Roger hated it. The sound quality is poor (but Was even worse before I put it through some noise programs!). It was one of those times back in the day when you just grabbed a cheap tape and threw it in the deck and hit record. And Certron was the bottom of the heap! I was a huge fan. To me they were the band leading things. Them and The Clash. I was too young to go to the 1979 show but my older brother was at there.
