Simon Townshend's New Song

Simon Townshend has released a new song, "Looking Out Looking In," on his website (video above). The 50-year-old younger brother of Pete will be part of Roger Daltrey's upcoming tour of Tommy which begins in the U.K. this Sunday.

Condolences to The Townshends

Pete's mother Betty Townshend passed away last week at the age of 87. There's not too much on the Internet about her except for the video above where she is talking about Pete on an A&E biography. There's also a little bit about her background in the Wikipedia article for her husband, Cliff Townshend, who died in 1986. Cliff was a very successful jazz musician in England before the dawn of rock music.

My condolences go out to the entire Townshend family.
