The 45th anniversary of The Who legend Pete Townshend's "Empty Glass" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: Just watching the parade of some of the latest overly-ambitious, under-qualified politicians on the Sunday morning tv talk shows ever since Who Came First by Pete Townshend, quickly it becomes clear that one need not actually lie to obfuscate the truth. Handlers teach them that you need not answer any direct question posed by an interviewer; rather, you simply rephrase the question with one that you do feel comfortable answering.

With "Disease with No Name", it was the title lyric. I had been suffering from recurrent lower back pain for a while and my doctor at the time didn't seem to believe me or know where to send me that would help. I was frustrated, and the phrase "can't find the cure for a disease with no name" came to me and I immediately recognized it had 'song potential'. I often find one of the key aspects of songwriting is knowing what little bits of serendipitous creativity fit in what part of a song. Is this little melody that I came up with a verse, chorus, or pre? Is this string of words a song title, or just a lyric? (continue)
