Pete Townsend of the Who is being paid $3.5M for a memoir.
Now I am gonna tell you something you don't know: Why it's worth it.
1. Townsend's book won't be ghosted, the first since Chuck Berrys?
2. He is a great writer.
3. He has skeletons in his closet .
4. Among them? He claims to have a secret gay life but no chapter and verse on that so now we know who, what, where.
5. He is he leader of the Who for fucks sake
6. He got in trouble for looking at children naked on line. Here comes the full story.
7. As the leader of the Who he is both a part of and a witness to history.
8. Plus he has an opinion about it all.
So: yeah, a year today!!! I shoulda finished the Keith Richards memoir by then. Of course, Keef swore it wasn't ghosted but if you've read it? It was ghosted.
