White City-A Novel and Pete Townshend...

Good album but All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes remains his best, horrible name though. Especially for someone who was awake all night.

White City is a great album. The Mini Movie/long form video is interesting as well. The storyline is almost autobiographical according to Pete, it essesntialy tells ths story of his mates in his youth and how their lives played out in adulthood, and his fortunate escape from "White City".

A good concept, good songs and produced well. Not as strong as his Lifehouse project, but he's spent his entire adult like working on Lifehouse, he only put a few years into White City.

4 stars out of five.

His solo outing "Who Came First?" is nice too.Specially the album cover art showing him standing on rows and rows of chicken eggs( a good take on the age old question about who came first ,the chicken or the egg)

It's a pretty good album...of all the solo Pete T stuff I have (and I have most of it), though, I'd say my favorite is probably the horribly underrated "Psychoderelict". But "White City" is great too, as is TBCHCE and "Empty Glass".

I think Psychoderelict is much better than WC.Anyway take a look at his new novelThe Boy Who Heard Music pdf full volumes.

Why did BDG refuse to do this album when Pete offered it to him?

....couldnt resist this gem of lyric:
My room looks out to the wide open spaces
My heart is touched by awakening faces
I see the panic of people in motion
I can stand here, look out on an ocean.
I am a wall awaiting a catchword.
I see the city laid out like a patchwork.
Alone I am free from hatred and blindness
I hope that this life is frozen and timeless.
My man is here, we grow old by inches.
Tomorrow I'll walk among heroes and princes.
I feed the boys, I hear secrets whispered.
I know the hearts that are battered and blistered.
I am secure
In this world of apartheid.
This is my cell, but it's connected to star - light.

He wasn't allowed to play bass

COME TO MAMA-
Pride is like a bandage
He is wrapped in a warm cocoon
His pride is like Heroin
He is back inside the womb
His pride is like an Ocean
Encircled by a reef
His pride's an hypnotic potion
His memory is a leaf

Her pride is like an armour
Flaming ring of fire
Her pride is like a blindness
An ever tightening wire
Her pride is like a razor
A Surgeon's purging knife
Her pride is like a censor
She's slashed out half her life



for those who dont know what we're talking about ;go here to read /listen to White City.

As long as he gets the awards this time!
