Happy 72nd birthday today to Pete Townshend of the Who, born on 5/19/45. Townshend became known for his eccentric stage style during the band’s early days, swinging his right arm against the guitar strings in his signature move; a windmill style, often smashing guitars on stage. He’s also renowned for his rock operas (Tommy, Quadrophenia) and leading the songwriting of The Who, as one of the greatest and most enduring of all time.
