Shameless Self-Promotion: My Interview with Pete Townshend

[drumbob]

A little self-promotion here, but I wanted to let you all know about my interview with Pete Townshend in the April issue of Premier Guitar magazine. Pete discusses guitars and gear in general for the most part, and mentions how much he still likes Rickenbackers.

One of the most interesting comments he made, was an admission of the absurdity of smashing guitars and how he has grown ashamed of all that destruction over the years. To my knowledge, he has never admitted this before. Pete loved talking about his favorite instruments, many fo them acoustic guitars. He like Collings acoustics in particular, as well as Gibson J-200's. He mentioned he plays a lot of mandolin at home.

I hope you guys will check it out. It took 15 months of requests on my part to get Pete to agree to the interview. We did it while he was here to play the Superbowl.
