Monday, May 19th, 1975

Pete Townshend from the May 24th, 1975 issue of New Musical Express - taken on May 19th

Pete, on his 30th birthday, is interviewed by Roy Carr. Unfortunately he unloads all his feelings to the journalist who is visiting him on that day. Among some of the statements are Pete blasting Roger for saying The Who will be rocking in their wheelchairs: "he might be but you won't catch me rockin' in no wheelchair." He also says The Who's glory days are behind them. "Everybody has a hump and you have to admit that you've got to go over that hump." He also claims The Who are becoming a "golden oldies band" and that during the 1974 shows The Who were "copying what The Who used to be." Pete later says he is shocked when his conversation with Carr appears in New Musical Express on the 24th
