On the nineteenth day, of a spring day in May...

Happy birthday, Peter Dennis Blandford Fucking Townshend. The Great One. The undisputed master genius of rock and roll. The greatest guitarist, greatest songwriter the world has ever known and will ever know. The Alpha and Omega. Creator and Destroyer. The man who invented rock and smashed the electric guitar.  Pioneer of punk and prog. He is not afraid to bleed in the name of music. He is 67 on this day.

Long Live Rock.
