“Raw and unsparing...as intimate and as painful as a therapy session, while chronicling the history of the band as it took shape in the Mod scene in 1960s London and became the very embodiment of adolescent rebellion and loud, anarchic rock ‘n’ roll.”   — Michiko Kakutani, New York TimesOne of rock music's most intelligent and literary performers, Pete Townshend—guitarist, songwriter, editor—tells his closest-held stories about the origins of the preeminent twentieth-century band The Who, his own career as an artist and performer, and his restless life in and out of the public eye in this candid autobiography, Who I Am.With eloquence, fierce intelligence, and brutal honesty, Townshend has written a deeply personal book that also stands as a primary source for popular music's greatest epoch. Readers will be confronted by a man laying bare who he is, an artist who has asked for nearly sixty years: Who are you?

I really enjoyed this book and had trouble getting it out of my head after reading it. Being a big Who and Townshend music fan for decades, I never spent time researching much about Pete's life. It was honest and revealing. He admits his failures as a father while his children were young and he was off living the life of a rock star while his wife Karen had to do everything at home. He included a heartbreaking letter from his then young daughter asking him to please move back home so she could have a daddy like her friends. How many guys would say in retrospect that an ex deserved her generous divorce settlement? He was very open about his addictions (mostly alcohol), sexuality, tough upbringing, relationships, failures, and how all of this affected his life and the band. He pisses away money on houses, boats, and rock star life to the point of being nearly broke until well past when he should have been a wealthy man. As a detached observer, not having lived through what he did (good and bad), it would be easy to not like the guy. But give him credit for being willing to lay it out there. Of course, while his personal life was messy like many artists, his contribution to rock history is epic. It is stunning to think through everything he wrote and recorded from the late 60's to the early 80's. Who's Next and Quadrophenia are both top 10 all time rock albums in my book. His solo work, particularly Empty Glass, was excellent. He wrote books, plays, worked as an editor at a major London publishing company, brought Tommy to Broadway and won a Tony, etc. etc. The book could have spent more time on the creative process he went through to write and create the songs for those major albums -- it is a little breezy in that respect. There is a lot of name dropping, and it is hard at times to keep track of everyone he's talking about. But as a true fan it touched me with its breadth and honesty. I wish him well and hope he never stops producing whatever interests him. Then I broke out several Who albums that I hadn't listened to in a long while and enjoyed that thoroughly.
