The Who Sell Out: Pete Townshend Gets Millions for Back Catalog

I was reading this article in the latest issue of Rolling Stone

And this section caught my eye

On January 24th, Pete Townshend announced he was selling all of the publishing rights to his vast catalog of songs to the Spirit Music Group – a boutique firm that controls some or all of the rights to songs by acts from the Grateful Dead to Lou Reed – which now plans to place the Who's music even more aggressively in movies, TV and other media.

Lets hope this means a chance for more Who in RB.

Hmmm...

Perhaps Pete Townsend got in trouble with the law again over what's on his computer.

Nah man, he's just old. He needs meds.

Nah man, he's just old. He needs meds.

And now I'm thinking about Bill Nighy's immortal quote from Love Actually: "Kids, don't buy drugs. Become a rock star and they'll give them to you for free!"
