About this product

Product Information

He is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. But even as the principle songwriter and lead guitarist for The Who, it would be unjust to define Pete Townshend's life simply through his achievements with bandmates Daltrey, Moon and Entwistle. Noting that he has sold over 100 million records over a fifty-year period goes some way to quantifying his accomplishments, but numbers only scratch the surface of his contribution to popular culture. An avid student of his profession, during his career he has been credited with the creation of the concept album, worked as a literary editor, developed scripts for television and the stage, and written songs that have defined a generation. The thinking man's rock star with a dedication to his craft unlike any other in the business, he continues to inspire new generations of performers and writers with a continuing commitment to his art. Now, in one of the most eagerly awaited autobiographies of recent times, this icon tells about his incredible life and elaborates on the turbulences of time spent as one of the world's most respected musicians - being in one of rock's greatest ever bands, and wanting to give it all up. Incredibly, as a man who has achieved so much, this truly unique story of ambition, relentless perfectionism and rock and roll excess will be regarded as one of his greatest achievements.

  • Looking for a great Chrismas idea ?

    With Christmas coming up and a daughter that loves the Who, I thought it would be cool to get her Pete Townsend's autobiograghy. If you've ever checked how much autograghs are going for these days( they ain't cheap ) , it makes sense to get the book signed. For under 90.00 dollars (postage and handling INCLUDED !)my daughter gets the gift of a lifetime. I have bought about 15 books signed and even got one for less than the listed retail price. you still have some time before Christmas,check 'em out on ebay!!

  • Brilliant book, honestly told.

    An honest account of one of the world's greatest musicians' life. From the 60s to the present day, it is a brilliant read.

  • A fairly good read

    I bought this as a counterpoint by Roger Daltrey's autobiography and, whilst not quite as easy to follow as that, it does give a fascinating insight into Pete's life and times with and outwith The Who.
