Whether you agree with him or not Pete Townshend might be the most publically honest musician of his generation. In a new interview with the New York Times he laid bare his feelings on touring with the Who nowadays, and even drew contrasts with AC/DC when it comes to the band's creative modus operandi.
"I do and I think I will," he said of his desire to make new music. "It feels to me like there’s one thing the Who can do, and that’s a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die. I don’t get much of a buzz from performing with the Who. If I’m really honest, I’ve been touring for the money. My idea of an ordinary lifestyle is pretty elevated."
