    The single most entertaining induction speech ever delivered. Well done, Pete!
  • He really got shocked by Brian Jones' death. He was a close friend. and loved him sincerely. And twenty years later he still remembers him with friendship, kindness, affection. The only one tonight to remember him and remember what a good musician he was. and a good mate , too.
  • Pete Townshend gave a beautiful speech about his bestfriend Brian Jones whom he was close to and loved very much and missed him everyday. Nice to hear. God Bless Townshend for his humble words and is a class act.

    I loved that he acknowledged Brian Jones and Ian Stewart. Zappa's reaction to the ripped off line was perfect.

  • @groovygirl23
    I adore him. This is a terrific speech, filled with love, insight and madness. What more can you expect from R&R?

    I love all of the British rockers for giving the world some of the BEST rock & roll music EVER!!

    30 years later and still rolling...incredible.
  • @jorgejohnson451
    My goodness. This was 30 years ago. Terrible how time passes so quickly.
  • Pete, probably the most intelligent and articulate guy in rock 'n roll.
  • @peterk3474
    Pete Townshend is arguably the greatest R&R composer.
