Pete Townshend is one of the great figures in rock ‘n’ roll history. For almost 60 years, The Who have balanced the physical and the spiritual with introspective lyrics and inspirational music. But there is a part of Townshend’s story—and The Who’s—that has not been examined.

These are his Words + Music.

In the Audible Original Pete Townshend: Somebody Saved Me, the songwriter takes us through the period between the 1978 death of Who drummer Keith Moon and the 2002 loss of bassist John Entwistle. During these 24 years, The Who enjoyed their greatest popularity—and broke up. But no matter how much he tried to deny it, The Who had a hold on Pete he could not ignore. Every time he thought he was out, rock ‘n’ roll pulled him back in.

Townshend is honest about his victories and his failures in years spiked with conflict and resolution, the sacred and the profane, love and loss. Townshend punctuates his memories with the songs that came out of his life in that time—“Let My Love Open the Door”, “Slit Skirts”, “You Better You Bet", “Eminence Front”, and more as you’ve never heard them before.

In Somebody Saved Me, Pete Townshend bares his soul, bares his teeth, and bares his heart.

About the Creator and Performer

Pete Townshend is known principally as the lead guitarist and composer for The Who, as well as for his own solo career. His career with The Who spans over fifty years, during which time Townshend was the driving force behind one of the most powerful, inventive, and articulate bodies of work in rock and roll. He has always been at the forefront of his profession.
He has written several hundred songs for his solo albums and rarities compilations. Though known mainly as a guitarist, he is an accomplished singer and keyboard player and has played many other instruments on his solo albums and on various Who albums.
Townshend joined Faber & Faber as an Editor in 1983 where he continued to work until the 1990s. His first ventures into musical theatre were the award-winning original productions of The Who’s Tommy, followed by his musical adaptation of Ted Hughes’s The Iron Man. In September 2017, Townshend took Classic Quadrophenia (orchestrated by his wife Rachel Fuller and featuring Alfie Boe and Billy Idol) for a short tour of the USA before touring South America with The Who later that month.
His latest artistic project, The Age of Anxiety, is simultaneously a novel and a rock opera about passion and ambition, good drugs and bad drugs, and loves lost and found. The novel was published by Hodder & Stoughton in the UK and Hachette Books in November of 2019.

The alternate versions of Who and Townshend dont do the Audible Original justice but to hear a great artist share his story and amazing journey is a treasure on par with the autobiography WHO I AM. There’s a few insights, wisdom and unshared (until now) material that make this Words & Music really great. Thanks!

This is so wonderful, I will listen over and over. I can only hope that Pete would make a long podcast for each album of this era. These songs are life’s blood.

Thank you.

So Good, More Please!

What a fantastic surprise and amazing look into my favorite Pete era - the late 70s early 80s years today may have been overshadowed by what The Who had done so far… but had a raw and incredibly musical statement that no one has ever touched.

Narrated by a Pete who has never sounded more at peace with being Pete Townsend.

Pete at his most honest and true

I've always been a fan of The Who, Pete Townshend in particular. Too often the frontman receives all the credit for the sound of a band and not enough credit goes to the creative genius and talent needed to create the the songs. Koodoos to Pete Townshend for sharing his genius with his band mates. I was a bit surprised that there wasn't any mention of Baba O'Riley and would have loved to hear about the background of that song. It sounds like Pete Townshend had (has) a rockers life, full of drugs and rocky relationships in and outside of his performance bands but I still appreciate the music.

I'm a Fan
