		While in opposition his mind was swayed to and fro with conflicting emotions of dislike to the head of the ministry and of desire to share in the spoils of office.
		Before this could be accomplished Chatham's mind became impaired, and Townshend, who was the most determined and influential of his colleagues, swayed the ministry as he liked, pledging himself to find a revenue in America with which to meet the deficiency caused by the reduction in the land tax.
		These measures were known as the Townshend Acts, and he received the support of his cousin Thomas Townshend who was also a minister in the government.

		Probing deeper, its no wonder Simon was so talented as well, given that the whole Townshend family is steeped in rich musical background and influences.
		From Cliff Townshend the sax player and band leader of The Squadronaires through Simons other brother Paul and of recent Simons son Ben drumming for Alice Cooper, its no surprise that On The Air is something special.
		Simon then made some fine solo albums for Polygram and has continued to write well crafted songs and produced several more albums via his own label and recording studio.

		Townshend, in fl suit and T-shirt, did his trademark arm windmilling, occasional leaps, and climbed on a stage speaker.
		Daltrey and Townshend were backed by long-time keyboardist Rabbit Bundrick, Townshend's younger brother Simon Townshend on rhythm guitar, drummer Zak Starkey (Ringo's son), and session bassist Pino Palladino.
		Townshend gained momentum as the evening progressed, pounding his guitar with a fist, banging the instrument against his hip, then switching to gentle strumming riffs.

	The Who's Quadrophenia
		Accompanied by computer animation, clips from the 1979 film version, live actors and the remaining members of The Who, vocalist Roger Daltrey and Townshend (on acoustic guitar) were clearly the main attraction.
		Townshend, Daltrey and John Entwistle were supported by Zak Starkey on drums, Simon Townshend and Geoff Whitehorn on guitar, a five-piece horn section, a percussionist and four backup singers.
		Droopy-eyed Townshend was the most willing to reinterpret his parts, breathing new life into the vocals.

		Townshend writes from the heart, to the heart of his listeners, and it's always amazing to hear his songs at their best.
		Townshend's trademarks: melodies with intelligent hooks that propel the song, not make the song subservient to the hook; world-class musicianship, powerful choruses, AND that thing fans have come to expect (poor Pete) -- Mr.
		Townshend's ability to consistently provide us with a hand-full of turns-of-phrase that so perfectly match their musical settings they become a permanent part of us.

	Simon Townshend -- Who's Brother?
		Armed with his hard-hitting son on drums and a newfound confidence to be himself regardless of whom he's constantly compared to, Townshend feels he's finally found the right combination of elements with the Simon Townshend Band and their current Rising Records Release Among Us.
		He's a terrific musician," Simon said, noting that his young son Ben showed an interest in playing with the band before he was fully developed as a player.
		Simon and Ben will be taking their family of Gibsons to the States this year to work on a more highly produced offering than the stripped down Among Us.

		It seems a world away now and, as Townshend pointed out in one interlude, this is a vastly different place to the one the band experienced back then.
		Townshend and Daltrey have also retained their skills and have been able make a comeback long after their use-by-date for radio airplay may have seemed to have expired.
		While Daltrey and Townshend are undoubtedly the stars of this Who incarnation they are augmented by Pino Palladino on bass, Pete’s brother Simon Townshend on rhythm guitar, Robert ‘Rabbit’ Bundrick on keyboards and Zac Starkey on drums.

		The result is that the performance resonated with a relaxed joyfulness that hasn't always been the case in the band's many reunions over the years.
		Townshend brought a new urgency to "Eminence Front" with his clipped phrasing and angular guitar leads; "My Generation" was enhanced with long, bluesy interludes; and the encore of a medley from "Tommy" and "Magic Bus" was elongated to Grateful Dead proportions.
		It was during the encore that Daltrey uncharacteristically lost control of his trademark whirling microphone and beaned an unfortunate audience member, who apparently felt no ill effects.

		This is still one of the world's great rock bands -- and as long as Townshend and his best interpreter, Roger Daltrey, are around to front it, the potential for future greatness remains.
		Townshend still cranks up his pinwheeling right arm, though the old flying leaps are gone, and the bespectacled Daltrey still does his lariat act with the mike now and then.
		The most encouraging thing about this show, though, was the willingness of Townshend and Daltrey to expand the scope of the act beyond that of a mere oldies band.

		The first of Townshend's signature guitar windmills arrived two minutes into the song, with Daltrey's first signature microphone swing besting it by exactly one minute, 58 seconds.
		Townshend's rigorously inventive and polished guitar playing offered moments of wonderful-to-watch brilliance, comparable — and perhaps better — than anything out of his ax-smashing youth.
		A good deal of Daltrey's and Townshend's on-stage bravado after four decades of playing live together might be — as one armchair critic near me suggested — Who-by-the-numbers for the duo.

	Pete Townshend: Iron Man: A Musical
		Pete Townshend was the guitarist and primary songwriter for the Who from 1964 to 1982, also participating in the group's occasional reunions after its formal breakup.
		Best-known for his conceptual works, he wrote Tommy and Quadrophenia for the band, as well as the bulk of its other material.
		Townshend's first full-fledged solo effort was Empty Glass (1980), which sold a million copies, reached the Top Five, and featured the Top Ten hit "Let My Love Open the Door," as well as the minor hits "A Little Is Enough" and "Rough Boys." He followed it in 1982 with All the Best Cowboy...

		The Who premiered the rock opera chronicle of the British mod movement as a performance piece in London and New York during the summer, proceeding to over 20 autumn U.S. dates.
		During the October 1996 San Jose shows Townshend spun off trademark Dixieland/Flamenco strums and Indian style finger moves as he sang to a receptive audience.
		Judging by the Shakespearian grin on Townshend's face as he exited the second San Jose Arena show, Quadrophenia has exceeded all expectations; Tommy's younger brother may get the last word in, finally.

	Pete Townshend
		This is Townshend's own custom-built version of Quadrophenia: that big bloated pretentious kind of thingie that no-one but Townshend himself really can dig into, but sounds enthralling all the same.
		Parts of this record are downright annoying, and the way Townshend embraces dance music, synths (which he once pioneered but which now pioneer him) and other modern production values, such as an obligatory Dave Gilmour in the studio, can certainly turn down an average fan.
		Simon Townshend has an appearance on the ridiculously (and mercifully) brief 'Man Machines', and Pete himself sings an unimpressive duet with Deborah Conway on 'I Won't Run Any More'.

	pete-townshend Mp3 Albums Review
		The Who's ringmaster Pete Townshend and the Faces' bass man Ronnie Lane took their mutual admiration society to its obvious conclusion on this 1977 all-star effort (with guest appearances from guitarist Eric Clapton, Stones' drummer Charlie Watts, and Bad Co. bassist Boz Burrell).
		Not that that is such a bad thing, as Townshend had the talents to back up his pretentions in most cases, but it did not always ensure enjoyable listening.
		What you do get is a writeup in which Pete Townshend describes in conversation (to someone named John Pidgeon) each of the tracks on this album.

		Townshend rambles, sometimes unattractively, between numbers, and even Daltrey gets peevish with the crowd.

		They were written by Townshend and Daltry and also feature long-time keyboaridist John "Rabbit" Bundrick, Simon Townshend (Pete's brother) on guitar, Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son) on drums, and Greg Lake on bass.
		While this is not classic Who, it is the most interesting music either Townshend or Daltrey has made in nearly 20 years, and it bodes well for the forthcoming full-length.
		Whether that justifies yet another Who compilation is another matter, particularly since the audience that most wants to hear this new material will already have each song on this disc several times over in its collection, which will no doubt frustrate collectors.

	The Who - PopMatters Concert Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Affectionately known as The Two since the untimely passing of bassist John Entwistle in 2002, Townshend and Daltrey hit the stage with a purpose: perhaps to give the Who faithful Maximum R&B value for the rather pricey tickets, perhaps simply to show themselves that they still can rekindle the past spark of greatness.
		Ably backed by long time keyboardist Rabbit Bundrick, younger brother Simon Townshend on rhythm guitar, drummer Zak Starkey and session bassist Pino Palladino, the pair worked their way through a generous two hour helping of classics.
		Fresh off a single show in Massachusetts earlier in the week, Townshend demonstrated that middle age has not diminished his playing or windmilling capacities one whit, as he brought the crowd to it collective feet early on.
