The Real Congregation :: Pete Townshend – Who He Is (Part Two) :: 11/27/12
Picking up where we left off last week, Marc With a C and Cap Blackard continue to explore Pete Townshend’s solo career. This episode focuses on the White City album and film, Pete’s dalliances with musical theater and radio plays, and Pete’s eventual relaunch and (sort of) conclusion to his Lifehouse experiment. All this and a healthy look at Townshend’s inimitable Scoop series. Things get pretty all over the place here, but all of this material is essential to understanding the finer points of one of the most important icons in the history of popular music.
