I had no idea that wasn't Pete. My apologies then, Mr. Townshend; I thought maybe you were pulling a Sean Connery in the episode -- "Yes, I'm bald and I don't try to hide it, but if you're going to animate me, slap some hair on my dome!" Wow! I had no idea that wasn’t Pete.

No idea why Pete declined to be involved.  I’m guessing he was in a bad mood when the idea was proposed.

It was as if he agreed to appear with Daltrey and Entwistle on the show ONLY if he was animated sporting his '70s 'do. I think Animated Pete even had a beard, just like in the '70s. If Townshend were to submit a current picture of himself to simpsonizeme.com, I think the results would be different.

Seeing as how Pete is all about viewing things in the greater context, I thought I might clear some things up. For the record, Pete said (in an interview that can be found on the "Isle of Wight" DVD) that he used physical signals to communicate with Keith and John on stage, "like a conductor." The way he moved ("...maybe with a bum-wiggle in the middle") would indicate some forthcoming rhythmic pattern. Personally, I just included those clips because I like to look at his booty. And if that's wrong, then by God, <strong>I don't want to be right. </strong> Anyway, sorry for droning on...thanks for linking to this.

However, the across-the-stage-on-his-knees slide at 2:13 is pretty much the embodiment of rock and roll - I think we can all agree on that...
