Pete Townshend and The Kinks

I came across this article here entitled "Pete Townshend Writes About Playing Chicago with the Kinks in 1969 Letter."

Click this for a full size of the letter. You may need to increase the font size of your browser to read it.

Townshend has often talked about his admiration for Ray and Dave Davies including the influence that some of the Kinks' songs had on Pete's writing. From The Kinks Wikipedia page here:

"Pete Townshend of The Who was particularly affected by the song: "'See My Friends' was the next time I pricked up my ears and thought, 'God, he's done it again. He's invented something new."
