    he's also had a very tormented past and that's in all the music as well. I'll just put this up with the people will believe what they want and cheers to them.

    Pete Townsend will forever be a hero for me, I don't think he's a bad guy.

    I mean, this is not new......."Substitute" Hello?


    Oh I was in the philly airport the other day Pure. I waved to you guys, but unfortunately I had no time in town as I was headed to Fleetwood, PA one of those tiny little towns Southeast of Reading. Beautiful country out there.

    well, you still have your chance for that cheesesteak on me - the Who are reportedly going to be here in the fall :)

    it's nice to see you again, it seems like ages

    and you're 100% right - anyone that knows the words of Pete Townshend - my God, some of the stuff he writes is gut wrenchingly personal

    I don't give a shit about the people who dwell on what happened.

    Pete Townshend is my hero
    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    I'm getting them from following Pete Townshend since I was 13 years old.

    I haven't read the story on Pete's site, but I really don't see what the fuss about this kind of story is. First of all, age of consent is 16 so no big issue here. But as well, being a mother of a young girl, when I flick through some of the books (by well known authors) aimed at young teens, two 16 year olds discovering/having sex is nothing compared to what I have seen in those books - books recommended by schools, etc.!

    what a fucking worthless post, so what, he wrote about 2 kids having sex at 16. The honest to God truth is that is when kids are starting to have sex. If he would have wrote this about 12 year olds, whatever, but come on. The last thing Pete is is a pedophile. Get rid of this shit of a post

    In my country and in the most countries in Europe it is legal that 16 years old have sex, they are also able to marry if they have a parental accord. Aged 16 my toughts were just turning around sex ;)
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    i'm not seeing an issue here. 16 is the age of consent in england (as it happens to be in new england), and that's reasonable to me. i'm sure 16 year olds in england are very much more mature than the person who started this thread.

    16 is the age of consent in Mass? Really? Somehow I don't think thats the case, but it should be that way everywhere, IMO. old enough to drive = old enough to fuck, lol. seriously though, i've known of several instances where the guy around 20 was put on the sex offenders list for being with a 15 or 16 year old that was more consenting. and that offense is the same as a pedofile doing something to a child, i don't think so. just another example of bullshit laws in america that are needlessly ruining good people's lives.

    Let us start a list of great literature that has at some point mentioned or otherwise involved sex between or with minors...

    Well there is the obvious, Lolita.

    My personal favorite novel, Gravity's Rainbow.

    The Tin Drum.

    This could go one for awhile.

    And no one ever accused Nabokov or Pynchon of being a pedophile.


    Reactionaries suck. Lock the post.

    Why was he investigating the site? I dont know enough about it to make any judgements but anyone who uses their credit card to sign in to a child porn site 'to see how bad it actually was' is an idiot. Why is it his job to go to these sites and report them? If he was a normal thinking human being he would steer clear.

    why is it anyone's "job" to right a wrong.....perhaps its human decency?

    Is it your job to make judgements?

    Its my job to make my own personal judgements yes.

    I wasnt at all convinced by his reasons for doing what he did, only my opinion obviously, although i know plenty of people who agree.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.
