It's Pete Townshend birthday today. He was half the age he is now when he released his first proper solo album Empty Glass.

He was declared a hero by a lot of punk rockers and the record had a lot of musing of whether he was past his prime as the "aging punk godfather." The song we're going to hear tonight he dedicated to the Sex Pistols.

What are you listening to tonight?
