Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey were among several honorees last December at The Kennedy Center in Washington along with Morgan Freeman, George Jones, Barbra Streisand and Twyla Tharp. Former President George W. Bush did a nice job speaking for a few moments about The Who. The video is above courtesy of YouTube.

Pete Townshend Getting Divorced



The story here isn't that Pete Townshend is getting divorced from Karen Astley, because the two have been separated for 15 years or so. No, what stood out for me is that Astley has hired Fiona Shackleton as her lawyer. Shackelton (fitting name) represented Heather Mills in her bitter split from Paul McCartney. You may recall that Mill$ made out quite well for her$elf.
