Pete Townshend

Besides an unlikable guy with lots of money and a talent for playing guitar (and not beating someone with one as a weapon, since that allegedly got him knocked out) who would Pete Townshend be without the Who? Is it somehow unfair to Pete Townshend to think or say any of that? It's possible to respect somebody's ability/talent (not underestimate their capability) while having no respect for who and what they are as a human being.

Roger Daltry makes it sound like he wouldn't be anybody in particular without the Who, but really the Who was still a likeable band with him as the face of the band (before the 80s). It hasn't been the same since Pete Townshend started convincing everyone else in the band that he was the best thing to ever happen to the Who, and that nobody else was good enough to question him. At least Roger Daltry seems like a guy who had some heart.

Example of respecting an ability but not the person with the ability- The subject knew the king/queen was capable of executing him or worse, and though he was cautious about what he said and did, he still knew he didnt owe the king/queen or anybody else any respect.

Pete Townshend

Its interesting how people ignore the likelihood that a guy like Pete Townshend would happily try and put them out on the street because he is talented at something they like (music). Some people even think the guy is awesome even though they've never met him and dont know him.

Before the Who, who the fuck was Pete Townshend?

Disappointed

You could never be let down by someone you never believed in or trusted in in the first place.

The guy knew not to ever trust in or believe in her, so their had never been any sense of disappointment with her. He knew her too well to be disappointed about anything she did.

Disappointed

Let down.

Some people were disappointed that she tried to be her deceased grandmother she had never met, or Taylor Swift, or a thousand other people that weren't her despite all the be yourself bullshit she preached, but others had known her ling enough to know she had always been an imitator and a poser, and would never have been herself or been honest about who she really was with one person that knew her anyway, and that there would never be anything to get disappointed about.
