Pete Townshend on Partying With Paul Vs. John

[Norbert]

"If you go to a party and Paul McCartney's there, he'll spend all of the
time talking to you about music, about how he digs us and this and that
and about the feel of the songs.

If you go to a party and John's Lennon's there, he'll spend all of the
time telling you that he's John Lennon, granted it's a great time as
he'll just get stoned and make a fool of himself, but that's the
difference."

We all know what sort of parties Pete used to like going to...
at least he got lucky and they dropped the charges.

Bullsh*t.

[Blueshirt]

Bullshit.

Yeah, his excuse was!

Doing "research" IIRC... yeah, right Pete. <rolls eyes>

He was writing about the issue of child abuse in his online journal at
that time.

He also dealt with that theme in his autobiography and interviews.

It's in the Who's songs from practically the beginning.

No indication ever appeared that he had done anything inappropriate with
young people. His known relationships are all normal.

On balance, the "research" defense holds up.
