Ever desperate to make the public forget both his five-year presence on a sex-offender registry and the last Who album, Pete Townshend has announced that he has in fact begun writing another rock opera.
The opus will deal with “swine flu” and the inevitability of its killing everything on Earth “anyway, anyhow, anywhere.”
According to sources close to Townshend, the as-yet-unnamed work will contain, along with new material, several of the Who’s biggest hits, re-written to accommodate the swine-flu theme: "My Degeneration," “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” “Pictures of Porky,” “Magic Pus,” and “Sneeze Box.”
“I’ve been kickin’ titles around!” shouted the sixty-four-year-old guitarist, whose many years of performing over-amplified music have left him practically deaf. “I quite like Deathhouse, but Quadropneumonia ’as a nice ring to it as well!”
