Pete Townshend is one of my favourite songwriters. Two of my favourite songs of all time were written by him: "Christmas" (from "Tommy") and "I Can See For Miles" (from "The Who Sell Out").

And I am not talking about his Gibson either..Tee-Hee!”
  
• Kayla says: “I just wanted to say that Pete is one of the best performers I have ever watched! He's not one of those musicians who feels you have to stand stock-still and be serious onstage to be credible, and I love it! Pete's rock operas are wonderful, and..he does have beautiful eyes. Go Pete! :)”
  
• Diane says: “He is the greatest songwriter and rocker ever!!! And he is a hell of a nice guy. . .I had the pleasure of meeting him very briefly in 2001 and he was totally down to earth and pleasant, when he was surrounded by fans and was tired after a gig, and he didn't even need to be there. He is very articulate and obviously educated, and has contributed singlehandedly to more in rock and roll than just about any one else except maybe Elvis or the Beatles. So those are my thoughts. . .Pete rules!!”
