Re: Roger interview

[Joe Lewinski <lewinski@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Lela posted the Roger interview containing the following comment:

Interviewer:  Come on, you are phenomenal.

Roger:   I agree. But we have been lucky. How come four people who were 
different and didn't socialise came together and made music with such
passion? The extraordinary thing is that it doesn't seem to date.
You have to give that credit to Pete. He was the most important 
songwriter of the 20th century. He did more to move music and lyrics on 
than any other writer. Look at Chuck Berry - fantastic songs, but all very 
similar. Look at John Lennon - lyrically brilliant, but most of the 
arrangements were done by someone else. Townshend did everything.

I am never taken seriously when I state that Pete *was* the most important
songwriter of the 20th century.   Now that Roger has said these exact words,
I feel vindicated.    Right bloody on Roger!
