Pete Townsend – New Musical

Peter Townsend of The Who has written anther rock musical. This one isn’t about growing up but rather about growing old. The musical is called Floss and tells the story of an ageing pub rocker and relationship with his wife.
Songs from the show will appear on the next Who album. Townsend is said to be in talks for a US opening in 2011.
He says he wants to tackle the issues the Baby Boomers are facing as they realise they didn’t die before they got old. The music will reflect the anger and disillusionment of this newly retired generation.
Meanwhile that other Townsend offering, Quadrophenia continues its UK tour.
