I would also like to say that while I have my suspicions, I reserve judgement on Townshend. Meanwhile, where I come from the same people who would defend Townshend to the death are the first to consdemn the Catholic Church for reassigning priests who were accused of pedophilia.
It’s the Michael Jackson Memorial Halftime Show.
Good point.
Creeps like Townsend should not be rewarded with exposure like this.
But then again we are living in s very creepy world.

It ain’t The Who anymore, it’s Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey.
Same here.
No child porn was found on his computer and there was no evidence that he downloaded a single byte of child porn.
His past actions seem to back up his claim of research, but the Brit government’s “word of caution” to Townshend was proper.
Who’s Left.
I still think the Guess Who was a better group. No sugar tonight in my coffee, no sugar tonight in my tea....
Meanwhile, professional sports teams will play Gary Glitter’s crappy tune and that pervert will presumably continue to get royalties.
Where is Hannibal Lecter when you need him ?
I hear he is doing a cooking show but I bet he could do a really good half time event
LOL!
In it, he also states that he continues to do, um, "research." He stopped considered sharing his findings with law enforcement officials a few years ago, because he feared being arrested by police who were on a "witch hunt" to catch anyone who visited illicit web pages.
What do you mean “same here?” My contention is that there is not enough to bust that guy (it’s good being a celebrity), but there’s still something defintitely wrong with him. He didn’t need to give his credit card to multiple sites to verify that, yes, there is indeed child porn on the need, and he admits he’s still doing his “research” to this day.
Roger and Pete are going to do a killer version of
-The Kids are Alright!
Thats one type of research I dont ever want to see!!!!
“Hope I die before I get old!”
Townshend admitted to viewing pictures of child pornography on the Internet, therefore he downloaded more than a single byte to his web browser cache.
In fact, anyone who clicks on one of these pictures from one of these wicked sites will have more than one byte of child porn on their computer.
The issue here is intent which I don't have enough information at this time to make a proper judgment.
Halftime shows ought to feature marching bands, as they did in the good old days.
That's also my take, but it doesn't mean I don't have strong suspicions.
The child porn charges make sense given the fact that el creepo has become a muslim.
