Classic Interview With The Who Gets Animated

(Radio.com) The latest installment of Radio.com's Minimation classic interview animation series was taken from a 1979 interview with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey of the Who.

Pete Townshend wrote the line, and Roger Daltrey sang it: "I can go anywhere for something new." But in the '70s, the members of the Who were having a hard time going anywhere without being recognized by their legion of fans.

Townshend's own tale topped Daltrey's: he went all the way to India. "It's a different place, it's a great place," he said. "It's as nice as the Long Island Sound, in it's way!"

"And at least, at least I'm alone." But not, as it turned out, unknown or unnoticed. After checking in to his hotel in Bombay, he tried to get some sleep.

"Some guy comes in and says, 'Hello, are you not Peter Townshend? Peter Townshend of the Who?'

"'Yes, I'm Peter Townshend of the Who�'"

As it turned out, his music resonated in India - at least with this fan - in the same way it did in England and the U.S. "'The Who are the most wonderful, wonderful music! They reflect the feeling on the streets of Bombay!'"

Townshend concluded, "You can't go anywhere!"
