Pete's guitar smashing is a kind of sacrifice. I could never understand how someone who can play so well does that to a guitar. It's not art, it's an act of violence that epitomises the destructive abuses of the way we live today. All about living life to the full and smashing everything up afterwards. The Who's lyrics reflect inadequecy and violence towards the world in general; a rage that's infective for the fans who idolise them.

This is why their music is evil. Music is a beautiful thing for the expression of good emotions. It should be uplifting and holy, not violent like this. My Dad bought me musical instruments when I was a boy. He intended them to be things that would give me joy and give joy to others, not for the ingestion and transmission of feelings like we see in Rock music today.

Seeing Roger with those tambourines took me back to my childhood when I used to play one Dad bought for me. It struck me how being hung up on their music when I was younger, could have led me down the dark path towards drugs, sex and booze that trapped Pete especially. It's a powerful draw, music, because it puts us in touch with forces of a supernatural origin. The language of the universe is music and just like the voodoo priest, Pete and the rest can and do open up other realms not healthy for us, though they feel like god's when they're doing it.

The conflict Pete especially feels as some kind of dark Jesus figure is testimony that this is true (and he used to look a bit like him in the 70's). His helplessness with the degenerate lifestyle he was getting lost in and still does in his depressions (I read on a Pete's Diary entry he was upset about people not wanting to read his stuff), is an indication that something is terribly wrong with the way he, all similar artists and the fans exist.

We should get that music out of our systems, sit still when the need arises to get into more music and rediscover our true natures again-the natures we had when we were born. Pete understands this because that's the conflict expressed in Tommy with all its symbolism about identity crises. When I saw that film at 13 I knew the writers had an unusually deep comprehension of spiritual matters. As I got older and matured, I began to see he was very aware, more than others of some of the mechanics of the human condition, but was powerless to do anything about it. This of course caused tremendous conflict-thus the escape into booze and the rest.

I will say he influenced me for a while, in that I thought it was ok to get into music like that and hate the world getting drunk. This is why we must keep our young people away from hateful music that serves only to draw them into weird realities where their souls are ground to pieces in a fantasy land of hate where they think they're strong and in control.

Its a lie. The only way to get to Nirvana Pete, is to build character in correct dealings in your day to day life, working out your problems.
