Wolf. Keith. Alan. At least one of them was talented and entertaining. Too bad he's dead.

Anyway, here's the link to the interview that Michael Moore gave that prompted Townshend to respond. http://filmlinc.com/fcm/online/fahr911interview.htm

The fact that everything you (and most folks) have read about this starts and ends with Townshend is one of the things that is troubling about the whole thing. To the extent that the media -- particularly the anti-Moore media -- see a counterculture icon like Townshend being critical of Moore, it serves their purpose. It plays into some concept that Moore is so "out there" that folks spontaneously leap to criticize him. It would've diminished their ability to use Pete against Moore (which is what the media is doing IMHO) if they had more fully reported the story, which reveals that, when all is said and done, Moore and Townshend agree with each other that WGFA wasn't the right song and that Neil Young was a better choice.

And fortunately, neither Pete nor Michael scare me. Just shrub and his gang. They scare me to death.
