{"product_id":"empty-glass-1","title":"Empty Glass","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThe Who's avatar was galvanized by the punk movement when he penned the 10 songs for this 1980 outing, his most commercially successful solo release. The album's opening track, \"Rough Boys\" (dedicated to the Sex Pistols), puts his viewpoint on the safety-pinned insurrectionists on the line: \"I want to bite and kiss you,\" Townshend barks. In \"Jools and Jim\" he scolds bilious upstarts who \"don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead,\" while the title track finds the \"aging\" punk godfather (he was 35 when the record came out) dismally admitting that \"life is useless.\" Elsewhere, Townshend returns to the spiritual concerns that dominated his 1972 Who Came First solo debut, notably on \"And I Moved\" and \"Let My Love Open the Door,\" Empty Glass's hit single. Musically, Townshend resurrects the rhythmic synthesizer patterns he concocted for Who's Next while also drawing on the drive of those punks whose devotion and contempt he so openly pines for. --Steven Stolder\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002J6J\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002J6J.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Townshend, Pete\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
