Reply #40: pete's view of bush

[onenote]

Sure, game on. You are right that I can't show where Pete ordered Rove not to use Won't Get Fooled Again. Of course, its not clear that he could've prevented it under US Copyright law. But I can show you what Townshend had to say about Bush at a concert in November 2000 at the NEC Center in Birmingham UK (as quoted on a Who-related board on Nov. 9, 2000):

"Maybe Pete has had the last word on this at last nights NEC show:

'I heard today, on the internet that George Bush (who looks like he has won
the election) adopted this song in his campaign (laughs), its called Won’t
get fooled again and you know he didn’t ask MY permission, don’t know if he
asked Rogers so the new President of The United Sates is what I would call a
C***.'

(much applause)"

So, I stand by my statement that suggestions that Pete Townshend is extremely conservative and/or a GWB supporter are, BS.
