Me
– I’ve never really liked Pete Townshend. Even
when he was cool, which mind you was about 100 years ago,
he struck me as a whiney bitch, complaining endlessly about
why he doesn’t get the props he feels he deserves.
100 Years Ago...
So,
true to form, Mr. ‘Hope I Die Before I Get Old’
himself has his Depends in a bunch over the fact that Kurt
Cobain bitch-slapped him in his newly published ‘Journals.’
Apparently Kurt (rightfully) clams he hopes ‘to die
before turning into Pete Townshend.’ And for this
private thought, a private thought that Kurt never knew
would ever be seen, Pistol Pete blasts him in London newspaper
The Observer, saying he was ‘hurt deeply.’
He then dismisses him completely, claiming he was a ‘crazed
and depressed drug addict, suffering from ‘stinking
thinking.’
Whattaya
Think He's Tryin' To Say?
Now
for the two or three Publicity Whore readers out there who
haven’t been through some sort of 12 Step
program, ‘stinking thinking’ is a term used
to describe the drug hazed thought process you reach when
you’re a basically a raving lunatic. You aren’t
making any sense at all, and therefore couldn’t possibly
be correct in calling Pete Townshend a joke.
Stinking
thinking? For what? For thinking you're a
penis head? For recognizing that you’d had a run once
– long ago, but that ever since you've been
a sad, crotchety old man, blabbering endlessly about history’s
under-appreciation of you?
That's
lame as hell, Pete, and I think a lot more people are hoping
they die before turning into you after reading that shit.
He
adds that he himself receives numerous letters from ‘people
who write like Cobain,’ and he puts them in a file
marked ‘Loonies.’
Would
You Listen To This Asswipe?
Well
Pete – we get letters from people who write like you,
and we put them in a file marked ‘Bald, Washed-Up
Has-Been Rock Clichés.’ Kurt’s
journals – moral implication of whether they should
have been published in the first place not withstanding,
are his personal and private thoughts. That's all. Do you
lie to your journal? Why would you? We have to
assume that this is the way he felt – for whatever
reasons (real or imagined.)
When
you declared that you’d rather ‘die before you
got old,’ were you suffering from ‘stinking
thinking?’ Not at all – and that’s why
you had your entire generation patting you on the back -telling
you you’re a genius for flippin' the bird to the old
guard.
Well
guess what – you’re now the old guard.
He got the same frustration and disenchantment from you
that you saw in the generation before you. You were both
right. Fuck – you said the same thing.
'And
Another Thing I Like About Me, Is...'
But
I guess you’re best off picking on dead stars. Eminem
would make what’s left of your hair fall out if you
ever pissed him off.
Fuck You , Pete
Wanna
Tell Me How
Fuckin' Awesome I Am???
