As a boy I loved The Who, for all the reasons people loved, and love, The Who.
But then came the 90's and The Who didn't really fit with the non-prescription pharmaceuticals of the Era, so I put them on hold in terms of my listening.
Then as the 90s came to an end I started to get very much back into them. Until....
Townsendpaedeogate in 2003.
Sex with children is fine if by "children" you mean "consenting adult humans who have parents".....
But the accusations against Pete Townsend where not implying that simple tertiary relationship. So, being a great follower of tabloid-herd mentality, I decided to throw away my MP3 Who Discography and place the The Who's corpus very much along side Jordi Chandler's police statement.
BBC4 on a Friday Night
But last night, my Wonderful Wife and I stumbled upon a BBC showing of a two hour documentary about The Who. From the first moment we were gripped. Golly-gosh what a rock and roll story like no other. What a band!
There were many moments where I felt like I was watching Napoleon commanding battle or Michaelangelo painting, such is the status of their product and magnificence.
Is he or isn't he?
In the documentary they mentioned Townsendpaedogate and everyone came out to say, "of course he isn't a kiddiefiddler, no way Jose." But you can't just follow what you hear unquestioningly like you are just part of a flock. So this morning, listening to The Who, I asked myself this simple question:
Is the evidence for Townsendpaedogate significant enough to outweigh the facts that everyone thinks he is innocent, including the English legal system and the fact that he is a musical genius.
So in my head I visualized a 3 axis mind-graph, with the axes being Evidence (of paedophilia), Opinion (on evidence), Quality (of Music).
I did some samples based on past paedobrities and found a pattern, a planar continuum of separation within the bounds of the hyper-visualized mind-graph.
The line bisects the cube on the evidence/opinion plane increasing against an increase of 2.4/7.1. So it's quite steep in the opinion bias. (If you are having trouble visualising this you might want to pop into Mathematica and do it in a computer.)
I will call this bisecting plane the JK Discontinuity because Jonathan King sits very close to it in the positive side. Glitter, Jackson , et al are down in the bottom of the cube, below the JKD... but where was Peter Townsend? I visualised.....
There is no spoon.
Woooooot!!! He was in the top half of the graph!!! A few mind-centimeters from Bill Wyman, in fact!
I didn't need an explanation as to why Pete Townsend joined American Childsex sites, no sir. That question was now not needed. Neuroclustuer, locate. Neurocluster, delete.
Reboot
I am happy, The remaining Who are happy, and the kids, almost certainly, are alright.

Mat, I am sorry to note that you have bypassed my question relating to the Framework Convention and jump in asking about Human Rights abuses. I am not talking about Human Rights abuses (although others might), I am talking about Cornish Rights denied to us because we are being denied recognition, and respect, as a national minority.
I shall have to accept that, but it does not change what is going on or your ability to come up with a substantiated alternative; rather than the speculation that there might be another explanation.
You say ”people in England’”, I say TEAM-EIS, because I only blame people, when I know their thoughts on the matter. You say Demographic entropy and I say Genocide because the process is not natural it has been contrived and manipulated. I am more than happy for you to take my hypothesis of Genocide (on the TGG site) and prove it wrong. In fact, I am surprised that this has not already been deconstructed by certain academics.
I show the existence of genocide, and will progressively add to that, but have no interest in attempting to show evidence for a conspiracy. I am afraid that to get to the bottom of what I think, would require a complete read through the TGG website. I have no intention of re-writing it here.
Mat, I suspect that we have now come to the end of this particular discussion and must agree to disagree, not only on the ‘cause & effect’ but also on the way forward?
STOP THE CORNISH GENOCIDE!- The existence of divergent views occur because the lies and deception have a more profoundly negative, and contrived, consequence for the Cornish people than for anyone else within the UK.
Mat, nothing at this time. It is time that I concentrated on long-overdue items on the TGG site. I would, however, be interested in identifying the source of the item from salted.net post here. Is it your own statement, or has it been adapted from another source?
I can see what it is saying and I saw it in relationship to my arguments and wondered, where right' & 'wrong' slotted in. I saw a similar association with your reference to 'demographic entropy' and I would like to look a bit more into it. The phrase "Persistence is existence into the future", which we should all be acutely aware of, has a lot of significance for a 'Cornish' future.
STOP THE CORNISH GENOCIDE!- The existence of divergent views occur because the lies and deception have a more profoundly negative, and contrived, consequence for the Cornish people than for anyone else within the UK.
Ahh ha. I have two main blops, salted.net which I use for all non Cornish stuff and midcornwall.com for the Cornish stuff.
I haven't published on midcornwall.com for a while so I often just paste stuff from salted.net over, sometimes I tweek them.
In this case I wrote a post here called "What is the purpose of Life?". It was a philosophy post, I guess.
I added a word to make it "What is the purpose of life in Cornwall" and reposted it on midcornwall.com
As Moonshine correctly pointed out, this word changed it from a post about philosophy to a post supporting the English Imperialist assault on Cornish identity
Thanks
Mat
