The Cat 3 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 :goodone:Great rock song one of the best album opening tracks, that's for sure. All of "Empty Glass" is just amazing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatLightInYourEyes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Gotta love Pete Townsend at his most homoerotic. You know sharing a stage with Daltrey must have been awkward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Gotta love Pete Townsend at his most homoerotic. You know sharing a stage with Daltrey must have been awkward. That's one angle, but I've always preferred Pete's take that he wanted to confront the über-manliness of the rough boys with just an open salvo of homosexual innuendo. Anyway, it took him a lot of balls to write this song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Townshend said in an interview that he worked all of his homo angst out in this song. There's no sleight of hand at all. It's an open profession of hitherto latent desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I love pretty much anything Pete has ever done. He was a guitar god to me back before I even heard of Rush. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) If you google GENIUS, you'll see this picture...well, you should see it. A genius is a person who displays exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of an unprecedented leap of insight. This may refer to a particular aspect of an individual, or the individual in his or her entirety; to a scholar in many subjects (e.g. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Marie Curie, or Leonardo da Vinci)[1] or a scholar in a single subject (e.g., Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin or Pete Townshend ). There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate.http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/PeteTownshend1968_zps0adef68c.jpg One of my fave Pete solo songshttp://youtu.be/aC-tIJ9cgIY Edited July 20, 2014 by custom55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
