About this product

Product Information

"Raw and unsparing...as intimate and as painful as a therapy session, while chronicling the history of the band as it took shape in the Mod scene in 1960s London and became the very embodiment of adolescent rebellion and loud, anarchic rock 'n' roll." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times One of rock music's most intelligent and literary performers, Pete Townshend--guitarist, songwriter, editor--tells his closest-held stories about the origins of the preeminent twentieth-century band The Who, his own career as an artist and performer, and his restless life in and out of the public eye in this candid autobiography, Who I Am . With eloquence, fierce intelligence, and brutal honesty, Townshend has written a deeply personal book that also stands as a primary source for popular music's greatest epoch. Readers will be confronted by a man laying bare who he is, an artist who has asked for nearly sixty years: Who are you?

    A MUST read for any music lover.

    If you have any taste in music or simply want to know what rock and roll IS really all about, then this is a MUST read. The book is really about one mans passion and journey (Pete) and his persistance to evolve himself and The Who(which happens to be one of my all time favorite bands)into one of rocks all time greatest bands. He talks about encounters with Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones and other great bands of that time era, even the development of his trademark windmill guitar strumming. I love it! Bought two books - one autographed for safe keeping and the other one to actually read.

    "Who I Am" captures Pete's emotions, experiences, and philosophy expressed in his own words.

    Pete's life is so fascinating and this book allows you to easily relive his personal experiences. I didn't want the book to end!!

    Book shipped in just a plastic bag with no protection, so a couple or corners were heavily dented. Otherwise good.
