Default Pete Townshend responds to Kurt's journal insult

"Generation" Gap?
Who guitarist Pete Townshend has addressed Kurt Cobain's quip "I hope I die before I become Pete Townshend," which the late Nirvana frontman wrote in his just-published Journals. "I mourn little Kurt," Townshend writes in a book review for British newspaper The Observer. "Once beautiful, then pathetic, lost and heroically stupid boy. Hard rock indeed."

Townshend said that?! That's ironic.

Someone should let Pete know that ever since Keith died, they've been The Poo.

And Lifehouse Elements was worse than Hitler.

I like the way he felt he had to respond to something a dead guy wrote 10 years ago

I was thinking the same thing. What a petty man he is.

I wonder if he realizes by responding to that, he's just affirming what Kurt said.

While he's talking to the ghost of Kurt Cobain maybe he should ask moon to come back so he can stop sucking

Yeah, this review is some pathetic ass shit.

Out of context. I didn't read as much negativity in his review as whoever created this 5 line synopsis of a large article. I saw a lot more sympathy than bitterness.

Simple.

He's pissed.


The final nail in the Who coffin was hammered in when Entwistle died.

My god - I couldn't agree more. Not only are you people castigating Townshend for some remarks taken completely out of context, but you're ripping on Pete fucking Townshend...

Because he deserves it. Not really for the Kurt thing, but for sucking in general.

Sucking now or always sucking? If he sucks because of his post-prime years then you have to say, in relation, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin suck too because they went through the same downfalls. And, in my opinion, Pete Townshend's contribution to rock and roll dwarfs Kurt Cobain's...

Where the fuck did this come from? Having this username is no different than anyone else's - what's wrong with promoting a website or a band or a baseball player or something you do? Did I hurt your feelings at some point or are you just lashing out for no particular reason?

No, of course not. But on the same token, you can't excuse Psychoderelict because of A Quick One...

Townshend is just salty that Kurt Cobain never sucked his dick like Eddie Vedder does.

We are ripping on Townshend because he is the epitome of trying to hold onto one's stardom in the midst of irrelevancy.
