Pete Townshend ‘Who I am’: Full 4 part Video Interview
// php starkers_posted_on(); ?>
In his acclaimed memoir, WHO I AM (Harper), rock icon Pete Townshend shares the story of his evolution from angry young Mod to one of the defining musicians of his generation.
During his travels in the U.S. these last months, Pete stopped off in notable libraries and book stores in several cities to read from his memoir, be interviewed and sign copies of his book.
Pete kindly gave permission for the video recording of one interview, conducted by musician and songwriter John Wesley Harding (A.K.A author Wesley Stace) at the University of Pennsylvania, to be published.
It’s been serialised in the Huffington Post in four parts.
The Who are just coming to the end of their North American tour of ‘Quadrophenia and More’. They have recently announced the dates of a UK and Ireland tour plus some cities in mainland Europe.

Riveting read the book (of course i have it – page 286…”you eat a flower” & gasp & choke.)
Hope the only future edition changes allow the text from the original uncut version. Whoooooyeahhh!!!
Loved your book and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night in Tulsa!
I really enjoyed reading your book and your honesty in telling your life story.I now have a better perspective on the inspiration for the songs and your creative process. Thanks!
Pete, thankyou for the interesting read, the great song writing and energy filled performances over the many years. I’ve enjoyed them all since I first attended The Who concert in Detroit way back around 1970 or 71.

Nice rumba moves, on there Pete!
