Re: writing to PDBT
This was a question discussed around the time I joined the list, last spring. I
remember there were varied responses, but this is what has worked for me:
Pete Townshend
The Boat House
Ranelagh Drive
Twickenham TW1 1QZ
ENGLAND
BTW -- yes, this location really does exist, and yes it is on a lovely stretch
of the Thames (not far from Kew Gardens, if I remember correctly -- Brit list
members -- please correct!), for you doubters out there! Jake, myself and I'm
sure countless others of y'all can verify it with photos/autographs/other
various & sundry treasured items!
I guess my only question, writing him today, would be: is he spending more
time in New York right now (what with "Tommy")? In any case, I am certain your
note would reach him.
And, yes, my experience has been that he *does* write you back, provided you
ask a reasonably intelligent question (I'll leave that up to you!) and not a
rhetoric one (e.g. "Hey, how 'bout the Who? Do you wish Moonie was still
around?!", etc. etc.). I've never received any glossy 8 x 10s (Thank God,
IMHO!). Just a simple reply, on his stationery, and signed by him.

Has anyone out there tried writing Trousers himself? I have his address,
somew
here, and I'm positive it's his place on the Thames. Does he take time to
respond to your letter, or does he just send out some goofy 8 x 10 with a
signature on it?
