  • Pete Townshend – Classic Quadrophenia
    Pete Townshend – Classic Quadrophenia (80:32, CD,Deutsche Grammophon/Universal, 2015) Das wird voraussichtlich nicht oft vorkommen, dass eine Veröffentlichung der Deutsche Grammophon bei uns gewürdigt wird. Im Fall von Pete Townshend erübrigt sich allerdings die Diskussion, ob dies standesgemäß ist. Mit dieser Bearbeitung wird die Rockoper auch von dem klassischen Publikum wahrgenommen (werden müssen). Das Werk wurde auf einen Silberling geschaufelt. Mit über 80 Minuten Spielzeit ist die CD restlos ausgeschöpft (war nicht 79:10 das Maximum? KR). Es folgt ein Statement vom Meister himself, das von der Agentur-Website Networking-media.de entnommen ist und auch so im Booklet steht: „Neben meiner Arbeit fürThe Who und meiner eigenen Solokarriere habe ich eine Sammlung von Songs geschaffen, die auf Geschichten basieren. Ich habe beschlossen, einige Jahre (wahrscheinlich den letzten Teil meines kreativen Lebens) an einem neuen Magnum Opus zu arbeiten, aber ich plane auch eine endgültige Sammlung aller Projekte zu machen, in denen ich involviert war und die ebenfalls aus einer Geschichte heraus entstanden sind. Das Magnum Opus ist immer noch in Arbeit, aber „Quadrophenia“ war eines der ersten Stücke, bei dem ich bereit war, es in die Hände eines anderen Komponisten zu geben. Die vorliegende Version von „Quadrophenia“ ist aus diesem Prozess heraus entstanden. Ich bat meine PartnerinRachel Fuller, sich ein wenig Zeit zu nehmen, um eine komplette Orchesterpartitur dafür zu schreiben, die so arrangiert werden sollte, dass zukünftige Entrepreneure die verschiedensten Versionen daraus machen können – je nachdem, wie sie damit arbeiten wollen (das Wort Entrepreneur steht eigentlich für Unternehmer und ist hier vermutlich sicherlich nicht ganz die ideale Übersetzung, KB).

  • Pete Townshend: Who He Is a Rock Star As Yachtsman, Gardener and Autobiographer
    Pete Townshend: Who He Is A rock star as yachtsman, gardener and autobiographer. Intelligent Life Magazine, Summer 2011 Rock music in 2011 is not quite what it was in the mid-1960s. For one thing, it is full of challenging coincidences, such as the one reported by Pete Townshend in a recent e-mail. “I was supposed to be sailing in the St Barth’s Bucket Race on March 24th,” he wrote. That’s right: the writer of “My Generation”, “Substitute” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” now spends part of his time as a yachtsman in the Caribbean. “This was arranged last August,” he added. “In a challenging coincidence Roger Daltrey will be performing ‘Tommy’ on that very day for Teenage Cancer [Trust] at the Royal Albert Hall.” More than most rock stars, Townshend notices what is going on in the world, and he felt he was meeting the challenge in the only decent way he could. “In these straitened and tragic times I have decided I have to do something useful rather than try to enjoy myself on a yacht while so many people are in trouble, and I am going to see Roger today at his rehearsal studio to offer my services in some way. I hope I will be able to perform with him, possibly sing ‘Acid Queen’ as I did when The Who played at Woodstock.” Daltrey wasn’t sure. He had already announced that “Tommy” would be played by a new bunch of musicians, which meant no place for Townshend on his own rock opera about the “deaf, dumb and blind kid” who turned out to be both a mean pinball player and a misappropriated seer, a concept that has sold 20m records.

  • Pete Townshend Und Die Internetermittlung „Operation Ore“
    Pete Townshend und die Internetermittlung „Operation Ore“ Über die Stigmatisierung eines Rockstars, der unangemessen bestraft und öffentlich vorverurteilt wurde, ohne je eine Strafanzeige zu erhalten "Ich habe schon vor vielen Jahren prophezeit, dass das, was zum Internet wurde, eines Tages dazu dienen würde, das Leben von anständigen Leuten zu unterwandern, zu pervertieren, zu zerstören." Pete Townshend im Januar 2003 „Ich hatte es geahnt, dass sich eine Art Hexenjagd entwickeln würde, und ich dachte: Oh Gott, das wird für immer an mir hängen bleiben. Und dann schaute ich aus dem Fenster und erblickte nicht nur dieses Meer von Reportern, sondern auch einen Ring aus Fernsehübertragungswagen. Ich lief bloß noch im Kreis herum. Es war ein bisschen so, als sei man angeschossen worden.“ Pete Townshend über seine Erfahrungen im Januar 2003 (Anmerkung: Die folgenden Auszüge aus „The Who – Maximum Rock”, Band 3, von Christoph Geisselhart, erschienen im Hannibal-Verlag 2009, wurden mit Genehmigung des Autors im Internet publiziert, um den Ablauf der Ereignisse von 1998 bis 2003 transparent zu machen und die stetig wiederkehrenden Verdächtigungen und Anschuldigungen gegen Pete Townshend dauerhaft zu entkräften.) Kapitel 11, S. 286 f f: „…Um seine Kindheit aufzuarbeiten, hatte Pete (1998/99) weitere intensive Gespräche und Auseinandersetzungen mit seiner Mutter geführt. Das Verhältnis der beiden blieb problematisch. Pete erhielt nicht genug klare Antworten und hatte stets das Gefühl, dass Betty Townshend ihm willentlich Informationen vorenthielt. Noch immer beschäftigte ihn die dunkle Zeit in seiner Kindheit, als seine Mutter ihn bei der unzurechnungsfähigen Großmutter abgeschoben hatte. Was war damals geschehen? Düstere, erniedrigende Ahnungen und unklare Vorstellungen kreisten in seinem Kopf – er empfand sich abermals als Opfer und sah in den nicht an die Oberfläche seines Bewusstseins dringenden Kindheitserlebnissen die Ursache des grenzenlosen Zorns, der ihn all die Jahre angetrieben hatte.

  • Generation Terrorists
    Downloaded from simongarfield.com © Simon Garfield 2008 Generation Terrorists It seemed like it was all over for the Who. But solo projects and trout fishing will only get you so far. The Observer, September 2006 About three years ago, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey had a conversation that went something like this. Daltrey: 'Whatever you do, Pete, I'll support you!' Townshend: 'Great, because I've got this idea that I want to do this musical in Las Vegas called The Boy Who Heard Music.' Daltrey: 'Where?' Townshend: 'Las Vegas.' Daltrey: 'I'm not going there.' Townshend: 'But you said you would support me in whatever I want to do.' Daltrey: 'Except Las Vegas.' Townshend: 'But it's only in Las Vegas that we'd get the 200 million dollars that I'd need to make my exploding Mirror Door moment.' Daltrey: 'Yes, but whatever else you want to do, I will completely support you.' A short while later, Townshend gave him some early chapters of his novella about three kids in a band. Townshend: 'Well, could you read the story, because I want to write some songs about it?' Daltrey (after reading it): 'It's the same old shit, isn't it? Come up with something new!' Townshend: 'But this is it. This is me. I only have one story, one thesis. I'm a cracked record, and it's going to go round and round and round until I die.' Such, at least, is Townshend's recollection of the conversation. He had endured these sorts of dispiriting exchanges with Daltrey before, and decided to press on regardless.

The company made the announcement during a press event attended by all current members of The Who at SIRIUS' New York City headquarters.
