The debut novel by Pete Townshend, one of the world's greatest rock stars
Pete Townshend es un aclamado autor cuya influencia se extiende mucho más allá de la música rock. Como principal compositor y guitarrista de la legendaria banda The Who, ha creado obras que han definido generaciones y empujado los límites de la ópera rock. Su genio creativo es evidente no solo en su música, sino también en sus esfuerzos literarios, donde explora temas similares con un estilo narrativo igualmente potente. El legado de Townshend reside en su capacidad para entrelazar una profunda introspección con una expresión dinámica, convirtiéndolo en una voz única que une la música y la literatura.





The debut novel by Pete Townshend, one of the world's greatest rock stars
Noting that Pete Townshend has sold over 100 million records over a fifty-year period only partly quantifies his accomplishments. During his career, this legendary musician has been credited with the creation of the concept album, worked as a literary editor, developed scripts for television and the stage, and written songs that have defined a generation. In one of the most eagerly awaited autobiographies of recent times, singer, songwriter and lead guitarist of The Who tells his story for the first time. From the sex, drugs and smashing guitars, to the death of Keith Moon, the inspiration behind his acclaimed music, and wanting to give it all up, this is a frank and eloquently written story of ambition, relentless perfectionism and rock 'n' roll excess. One of the greatest rock stories yet to be told, Pete Townshend: Who I Am is destined to become a landmark music memoir.
From the multi-platinum 1960s album to the cult movie of the '70s to the Tony Award-winning Broadway smash hit musical--Tommy is the official history of The Who and their legendary rock opera. This book ties into the national tour and includes essays by music and theater critics, plus an exclusive Pete Townshend CD. 150 photos, many in color.
The rock 'n' roll star presents an impressionistic novel, based on his own journey from childhood to success to excess, in a challenging work that recalls his operatic musical compositions, Tommy and Quadrophenia. Reprint.
