	For Pete's sake - Salon
		Pete Townshend has always been a refugee from the sexual fringe, a student of cosmic discomfort and a warrior in the war against unspeakable things.
		In it, he relates the story of a friend who was abused as a child (and later committed suicide) and then he talks about child porn as both a shadow industry and a phenomenon, as well as his own childhood and his suspicions that he might have been abused as a toddler.
		There are elements of Townshend's dilemma that reek of McCarthy-era thought crime, where to investigate the lunatic fringe is to be suspect of sympathizing with it.

		Townshend is Rock's great philosopher and, like all great philosophers, he frequently dips into deep dark spells when he concludes life is pointless.
		Townshend's backing band, including members of Big Country, isn't the as hard as the Who, but does rock, and can float through the softer sections of EMPTY GLASS in a way the Who had some trouble attaining.

		Townshend's dynamic, over-the-top guitar playing mellowed to a bluesy, rootsy, down-home strut when he collaborated with ex-Faces bassist Ronnie Lane for a solid duo album in 1976 entitled Rough Mix.
		Townshend's first pop-oriented solo album (1972's Who Came First was too eccentric for the mainstream market) was 1980's Empty Glass, featuring the chart-topper "Let My Love Open the Door." The criminally underrated All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes (whose final song, "Slit Skirts," may be Townshend's most moving composition) followed two years later.
		Townshend later expanded his art to embrace character studies ("Happy Jack" and "Dogs"), but his songs did not translate well in other hands and singles by the Naturals ("It Was You" - reportedly Townshend's first composition), Oscar ("Join My Gang") and the Barron Knights ("Lazy Fat People") failed to emulate those of the Who.
