View Full Version : Pete Townshend responds to Kurt's journal insult
NO CODE 11-05-2002, 12:37 PM "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 was thinking the same thing. What a petty man he is.
sawdust restaurants 11-05-2002, 05:16 PM I wonder if he realizes by responding to that, he's just affirming what Kurt said.
Deege 11-05-2002, 06:19 PM yeah, but Pete still has a point.

he keeps talking about "nevermind, their first album."
Finsta 11-05-2002, 10:41 PM Yeah, this review is some pathetic ass shit.
It basically says "I'm boring, so I don't like things"
Mason R Butler 11-06-2002, 01:29 AM 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.
Cherub Angel 11-06-2002, 01:45 AM 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...

feb4films is the worst username ever. Did you really need to make a new name to promote that shit? Sheesh!
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?

Didn't he do anything - didn't the Who do anything before Moon died? Is that not enough or are those achievements erased because of what comes after?

Cheers for having no sense of humor.
Sorry, but it's sometimes difficult to tell when someone is joking when it's just typed words...

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.
sawdust restaurants 11-06-2002, 05:33 PM We are ripping on Townshend because he is the epitome of trying to hold onto one's stardom in the midst of irrelevancy.

I guess we just view him differently...
