Townshend

Or as Pete Townshend of The Who famously put it two years later: “I hope I die before I get old.”

So began what Townshend calls the “darkest part of my life.”

Tired of waiting and exhausted of the media, Townshend chose the listing.

Some called it a gimmick, but Townshend says he knew it was a turning point.

In his new 500-page memoir, Pete Townshend, quixotic songwriter/guitarist for The Who, bares his soul.

On May 13, in a speech which charmed the House, Mr. Townshend opened his plan for settling the colonial question.

Finally, on March 5, 1770, the Townshend Acts were repealed with the exception of the tax on tea: three pence per pound.

The motion here attributed to Townshend was an expression of his opinion, given in the course of the debate.

The ministry was unfortunate in being represented in the house of commons by the irresolute Conway and the unprincipled Townshend.

While Chatham was suffering from gout and Conway from indecision, Townshend had opportunities for mischief.
