His Royal Purpleness Kills Again

Pete Townshend defends himself against criticism

Sent from Express News
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The Who gave an energetic, acoustic preview of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show Thursday- but things turned serious when Pete Townshend defended himself against some children's advocates who say he should not be performing.

"I've been really saddened by it, and concerned about it. It's an issue that's very difficult to deal with in sound bites," the legendary guitarist said at an NFL news conference dedicated to the Super Bowl's entertainers, including Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah.

"I kind of feel like we're all on the same side, I guess that's all I can really say," he said.

Townshend was arrested in 2003 in Britain as part of a child pornography sting but later cleared. He accessed a Web site containing child pornography but said it was for research for his own campaign against child porn. He was required to register as a sex offender, despite being cleared.

Because of that, groups like Protect Our Children have protested the choice of The Who, the legendary group featuring Townshend and Roger Daltrey.

But Townshend said he has been a children's advocate for decades and alluded to his own confession of being abused as a child.

"For a family that has suffered the issue of childhood abuse or anything of that sort, vigilance, common sense vigilance is the most important thing, not vigilantism," he said. "Anybody that has any doubts about whether I should be here or not should investigate a little bit further."

The issue took away from the celebratory tone of the event, during which Underwood, Latifah and the Who talked football, nerves and more ahead of their performances on Super Bowl Sunday. Latifah is to sing "America the Beautiful," while Carrie Underwood is singing the national anthem.

Both acknowledged the pressure in performing at the world's biggest show, but for different reasons.

"I think there's just a responsibility. You're singing 'America the Beautiful' or the national anthem, you feel like you're representing America," said Latifah. "Especially (since) we are at wartime right now.

Underwood said she was worried about flubbing the anthem's lyrics.

"For me, my biggest fear is words. Of course you sing these songs a million times, and everybody knows the words," she said. "But if you're gonna mess up, that would be the one time to do it."

The Who showed no performance anxiety as they performed three of their classic hits: "Behind Blue Eyes," "Pinball Wizard" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

Both Daltry and Townshend admitted to knowing little about American football and Daltrey said he'd never been to an NFL game before.

But his lack of knowledge didn't prevent him from picking sides. He said he was partial to the New Orleans Saints because "New Orleans could use a little bit of luck."

Latifah also favored the Saints, calling them a "Cinderella team." Underwood said she hated picking sides but pledged "51 percent" of her allegiance to the Saints.

"I love (Saints Coach) Sean Payton. He came to a concert, so that's where that extra one percent (comes from)," she said.

But the Saints didn't win over the entire entertainment field. After hearing Daltrey's bid for New Orleans, Townshend said: "Then I guess I'll go for the Colts."

Keith Richards Near Death?

How else to explain this?

HELL-RAISING ROLLING STONE KEITH RICHARDS has gone on the wagon - despite claiming he would NEVER give up booze.

The 66-year-old rocker finally quit after getting strict orders from his doctor - and watching bandmate RONNIE WOOD's life unravel through alcoholism.

Now "Keef" has not touched a drop for FOUR MONTHS.

A friend said last night: "There's no guarantees that he'll stay off it - but he's doing really well so far."

R&B singer Pendergrass dead in Pa. at 59

Sent from Express News
NEW YORK - R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, who had been one of the most electric and successful figures in music until a car crash 28 years ago left him in a wheelchair, has died of colon cancer. He was 59.

Before the crash, Pendergrass established a new era of R&B with an explosive, raw voice that symbolized masculinity, passion and the joys and sorrow of romance in songs such as "Close the Door," "It Don't Hurt Now," "Love T.K.O." and other hits that have since become classics.

Boy, 4, Chooses Long Locks and Is Suspended From Class

HOUSTON — A suburban Dallas school district has suspended a 4-year-old from his prekindergarten class because he wears his hair too long and does not want his parents to cut it.

The boy, Taylor Pugh, says he likes his hair long and curly. But on Monday night, the school board in Mesquite voted unanimously to enforce its ban on Beatles haircuts, much less anything approaching coiffures of bands like Led Zeppelin. School officials say the district’s dress code serves to limit distractions in the classroom.

No exception could be made for the pint-size rebel, who sat through the hearing with his hair in a ponytail, manifestly bored.

“It’s a trade-off,” said one board member, Gary Bingham, an insurance agent, in an interview. “Do the parents value his education more than they value a 4-year-old’s decision to make his own grooming choices?”

The boy’s parents, Delton Pugh and Elizabeth Taylor, have argued that it is unfair to punish Taylor for his longish locks; it suggests, they say, that the district cares more about appearances than education.

“I don’t think it’s right to hold a child down and force him to do something,” Mr. Pugh, a tattoo artist, told The Associated Press. “It’s not hurting him or affecting his education.”

The parents rejected a compromise proposed by the board under which they would braid his hair and pin it up.
