This is a GREAT article !
A must read for everyone here .........Why ??????
Because Pete Townshend is a " Rock God " just like the Stones or McCartney and we owe him respect and allegiance .
Good article in there about Entwistle too ( just click on the " John Entwistle " icon in the same article )

Thank you for posting the link. This is a thought-provoking article.
Indeed, Pete, "maybe more than any other rock star out there, [has] earned something most of us don't even remember anymore: the benefit of the doubt."
"We live in a hysterical time, one in which technology has outrun our capacity to come up with the ethics to go with it. 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. Especially in this sort of neo-Puritan age where to be accused of a sex crime is, for all intents and purposes in the court of public opinion, to be declared guilty of it." |

Pete shoulda left the investigating to the police if his motives were kosher. Any way you look at it, it was wrong & should be to financially contribute to these sites for any reason.
