" Townshend Cleared of Possessing Kid Porn
7 minutes ago
" LONDON - Rock guitarist Pete Townshend (news), co-founder of The Who, was cleared Wednesday of possessing pornographic images of children but still was placed on a national register of sex offenders.
That registration was part of a formal police caution Townshend received for accessing a Web site containing images of child abuse.
Townshend was arrested in January on suspicion of making and possessing indecent images of children. The arrest was part of Operation Ore, an FBI (news - web sites)-led crackdown on Internet child pornography.
After a four-month investigation, London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday the rocker "was not in possession of any downloaded child abuse images" but had accessed a site containing such images in 1999.
The musician acknowledged using his credit card to enter a Web site advertising child pornography but said he was doing research for his autobiography.
"I am not a pedophile," Townshend said at the time of his arrest.
The title character in Townshend's rock opera "Tommy" � a deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard � is sexually abused by an uncle, and Townshend said he believed he was sexually abused as a young boy while in the care of his mentally ill grandmother.
Police said it was not a defense "to access these images for research or out of curiosity."
As part of the cautioning procedure, Townshend's fingerprints, photograph and a DNA sample will be taken by police and he will be placed on a national sex offender registry for five years.
Townshend was one of The Who's four founding members, along with bassist John Entwistle (news), singer Roger Daltrey (news) and drummer Keith Moon (news). Moon died in 1978 and Entwistle died last year, but surviving band members continued touring.
The group, founded in London in the early 1960s, was part of the first British rock invasion with the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Their hits included "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

The only bad thing is Pete's (legacy) name will always have that hanging around.
There will always be people who think he's still guilty and not.
I say, just play the fucking tracks. |

I don't think it will that much. These things fade away no matter how bad they are, and anyone interested in the Who knows that the facts here were not bad at all, just some usual poor judgment by Pete that unfortunately erupted more than most of errors.
Those who don't like the Who or who want to believe something else, well they can just go blow, Steelie. They can just go blow. Blow is what they can just go do. Just o' blow.

Nay, Jacketh, t'was The Pete Townshend - guitar player/songwriter extrordinaire for the British rock band called "The Who." Ranking just below the Beatles and the Stones in the Great Triumvirate of British Rock, the Who achieved an absolutely distinctive sound, fusing complex melodies with raw percussive power. Their trailblazing ways a matter of legend, the foursome of the Who conquered new worlds in rock and roll - indeed, they have aptly been called "rock's outer limits."
Dude, did you know that Eleanor M. used to pie-romp with Keith Moon at the Chicago Hye Bar? Its true. Man, she was a wild one, was our E. |

Yeah, you did tell me that in Denver. Several times. But I already knew from the little bit of time I was able to spend with her in 1987 before I became "federal" and we had to part ways. Looking back, it was for the best, but it really hurt at the time. |

Federal ?????????????? Oh Hell , THAT is funny !
I wonder if she overcame her " dryness " problem by the time she became Clinton's girlfriend ( Circa 1995 / 1996 / 1997 ...............................................) ?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm !

Sometimes when Eleanor and I would finish up in a "certain" way, she'd say "Looks like you didn't apply ice where I told you." Eleanor was nothing if not forthcoming.
Where am I going with this?
Oh yeah, The Petey!

Visions of Eleanor, breasts akimbo, dancing on the roof of the Name and Faces lounge, circa 1988. It was after the operation, but she could still jitterbug.

Joey, have you heard the two-disc Baba set, Jai Baba? It's sold through eelpie.com, and it's marvelous! Although, if you haven't heard Petey's Who Came First already, you may want to start with that.

Dearest Joey, you need to get Who Came First as soon as humanly possible. A friend of mine who practically worships Pete like God kept telling me that the album was really great, a fantastic tribute to Baba, and a brilliant musical document in its own right. He was not lying. Pete's cover songs on it are excellent enough ("There's a Heartache Following Me," "Parvardigar," "Evolution" with Ronnie Lane), and his originals kick nothing but ass ("Pure and Easy," "Time Is Passing," "Sheraton Gibson"). Joey, my friend, if you love Pete, and if you love Baba, and if you love music, buy Who Came First. You will not be sorry. |

I can't believe Joey doesn't have Who Came First! He ain't no fan of man!

Steelie, all your pics are awesome except that last one, that one of He-of-the-Atlantic-Crossing.
Oh, and the song "Evolution" on Who Came First is actually "Stone" from First Step by the Faces. I don't know why Pete changed the name, 'specially because he was there with Ronnie Lane singin' it.
