One of the most-quoted—and patently rewritten—lines in rock history is "I hope I die before I get old". The Who's earlier mod output, the song boasts clear influences of American R&B,`My Generation` vocal melody is still specialy and explicitly in the call and response form of the verses.A long-awaited memoir by British rock guitarist and the Who songwriter Pete Townshend, 65, will be finished a book and published by next year.
Harper Collins, which said it has acquired the world English-language rights to the memoir, said in a news release the book would "at long last tell his dramatic story in a full and frank autobiography," a
Townshend, who Rolling Stone magazine said has been writing a memoir since the 1990s, has forged a reputation not only as as the main songwriter for one of Britain's most influential bands, but a rock commentator who has also published works of fiction and essays in the past.
I am lucky to be alive and to have such a crazy story to tell, full of wild adventures and creative machinations. I am happy that I am able to write my book myself, in my own 'voice'.Everybodys has his own voice. And I like to head sounding by Pete.
for instance telling something about He and only 15 year old Mark Bolan. I like T-Rex more then The Who. Bolan had got his own voice, too.
Marc Bolan never came out, according to Richard Bevan interview with Simon Napier-Bell, but he was completely bisexual. He also liked girls. Privately he was never discreet about it or careful.
Looking androgynous and pretty might have said many things to people but the band named Sweet were also pretty and lovely, but there was no one gay there.No Sweet.
Mark did die before he got old.
I like his way to live with the music.
Oh Yes, this Flow is my own.
