Empty Glass

Pete's solo album is released April 21, 1980 -- generally considered his best solo work. He wrote it during some troubled times -- the death of Keith Moon, alcoholism, spiritual searching and his own struggle with his fame as one of rock's icons. It's a great album -- many think better than anything coming out of The Who at the time. #petetownshend #emptyglass #80srock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #pop #rock #thewho

You Can't Make This Stuff Up ...

Song: I'm free
Artist: #TheWho
Album: Tommy
Year: 1969
Genre: #Rock

"I'm free-I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
An' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
If I told you what it takes
To reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!"

Bueno, ya he hecho deberes, ya he esperado a que llegara el regalo para Sant Jordi (lo de envolverlo va a ser una misión nocturna, así que deseadme suerte), y toca salir a hacer recados.
- Lavar el coche, que está como para plantar patatas.
- Comprar verdura para hacer verdura al horno para comer.
- Seguir con la doblación de ropa y tal.
- Y más lavadoras, por supuesto...

Así que hoy pongo música motivadora de mis queridos The Who.

72K views · 1.1K reactions | I just did a timebase corrected transfer of my original master of this vintage SNL performance - recorded on April 17, 1976 - nearly 50 years ago. Hiss is prevalent in the quieter parts, but I’m actually surprised at how clean this still looks after all this time. The Patti Smith Group redefining two classic mid-1960s hits with unapologetic punk artistry that defied all expectations of what music could or should be on television. Groundbreaking and arguably as influential as the original songs were 10 years prior. Also makes me miss TV that was free of embedded logos and station ID overlays.
