The Who’s Pete Townshend has paid homage to acts from the Sixties saying they still inspire him.
The legendary guitarist is full of praise for his contemporaries in what he calls an “extraordinary” generation.
He said: "Ray Davies (inspires me) for his storytelling. Paul McCartney for his energy and self-confidence. Mick Jagger for his ability to work with so many loveable nutters. Bob Dylan for his new moustache.
"My generation was extraordinary. All of 'em," quotes contactmusic.

HOMAGE TO PICASSO
31st August 2004, revised 25th June 2005
" At first I was inspired
To recreate the desecration
Of an upright piano
By Metzger and relations
Then, when I had saved
And scraped the sound of thunder
Thrust it through the ceiling
And broke the neck in blunder
I noticed I was noticed
And one notices that so quickly
That I continued the destruction
And my blood ran so thickly
I had hacked into some anger
With no element of rage
A distracted way of screaming
Nothing written a page
I was famous for the shards
I was noted for the splinters
A hundred lost guitars
In just three English winters
I was challenged to explain
How such barbarity was art
But no answer ever came
To touch the bourgeois heart
I was accused and stood elected
Empty show-biz flash
How could I have suspected
I was developing panache?
By the time I’d reasoned it
I’d lost my mind – alas – so
How could I have known
It was a homage to Picasso?"
Peter Denis Blandford Townshend ( circa , 2006 )
