Pete Towshend -- Empty Glass

 

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Pete Townshend was heading toward collapse as the '70s turned into the '80s. He had battled a number of personal demons throughout the '70s, but he started spiraling downward after Keith Moon's death, questioning more than ever why he did what he did (and this is a songwriter who always asked questions). Signs of that crept out on Face Dances, but he saved a full-blown exploration of his psyche for Empty Glass, his first solo album since Who Came First, a vanity project released to little notice around Who's Next (so limited in its distribution that Empty Glass seemed like his solo debut). Some of the songs on Empty Glass would have worked as Who songs, yet this is clearly a singer/songwriter album, the work of a writer determined to lay his emotions bare, whether on the plaintive "I Am an Animal" or the blistering punk love letter "Rough Boys." Since this is Townshend, it can be a little artier than it needs to be, as on the pseudo-Gilbert & Sullivan chorus of "Keep on Working," but the joy of Empty Glass is that his writing is sharp, his performances lively, his gift for pop hooks as apparent as his wit. Though it runs out of steam toward the end, Empty Glass remains one of the highlights of Townshend's catalog and is one of the most revealing records he cut, next to his other breakdown album, Who By Numbers.

She didn't maintain her hotness for too very long... I dare say the Klee would be a better long term investment...

No, thats my race bike I've had since 2000. Thats what it looked like last year. its pretty much the same now except for the steering damper I installed to keep that damn front end from cocking alittle bit driving off the apex. If I had to transition fast like in a quick left-right, I would pick up head shake. I think that was from bumping the hp up, but better safe than sorry. I also put a set of attack adjustable rearsets on it for more ground clearance. Also added a penske  ride height adjustable rear shock after scraping my lower fairing at the Gap. If you get that Honda, let me know if you any good curvey backroads up there. If my neck gets better I may be coming that way to race this year. I have a enclosed 2 bike trailer with a spare bike, mechanics area, plus airconditioning.
