Athena:

Well, things might seem very clear to Rog...all he wants is a career. I
doubt he cares too much what Pete might write for him. Pete, on the other
hand, is driven to move forward...not a bad thing, in my opinion. I haven't
always enjoyed the directions he's moved to (IRON MAN, the Broadway Tommy)
but I respect and applaud him for his efforts. Most artists at his level and
after a long career (read: at Pete's age) merely rehash the past over and
over. I hope that never happens to Townshend.
