Zitate und Sprüche von Pete Townshend

Als ich jünger war, habe ich Musik als Farbe wahr genommen und das Leben als Grau. Musik war für mich schon immer mehr als Unterhaltung.

When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.

If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.

I felt that the elegance of pop music was that it was reflective: we were holding up a mirror to our audience and reflecting them philosophically and spiritually, rather than just reflecting society or something called 'rock and roll.'

As a young man, every bone in my body wanted to pick up a machine gun and kill Germans. And yet I had absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly nobody invited me to do the job. But that's what I felt that I was trained to do. Now no part of my upbringing was militaristic.
