Product Description
Book Description
The Who, without a doubt one of history's most listened to and talked about rock bands, burst upon a startled world in the early sixties and for nearly twenty years since have maintained a pre-eminent position in shaping the sound and style of a generation. Subject to reams of media criticism throughout their career, the Who themselves have often remained aloof preferring it seems to let their music speak for them, except for Pete Townshend, their lead guitarist, who became a spokesman for his generation.
The Who, without a doubt one of history's most listened to and talked about rock bands, burst upon a startled world in the early sixties and for nearly twenty years since have maintained a pre-eminent position in shaping the sound and style of a generation. Subject to reams of media criticism throughout their career, the Who themselves have often remained aloof preferring it seems to let their music speak for them, except for Pete Townshend, their lead guitarist, who became a spokesman for his generation.
When best-selling Rolling Stone writer Dave Marsh, who has been a passionate believer in, and a tough critic of the group since the early sixties, was invited by Pete Townshend to write a history of their legendary band, he spent three years investigating and researching their story.
Before I get Old is the first book to discard the myth and nonsense, so much a part of the usual Who coverage: it tells the story of not one but six personalities - the band themselves and their two enigmatic managers, Lambert and Stamp. In short, every inch of fascinating, shocking, hilarious or provocatively relevant material on the Who and their wild and crazy lives and careers is here in this story. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
