iPod - Pete Townshend
Hey everybody!
In yesterdays newspaper, I read an article about Pete Townshend and iPods, which I'll try to translate...
Guitarist Pete Townshend warns for iPods.
London- Pete Townshend, guitarist of the band The Who, is afraid that iPod-users who listen at a very high volume-level, will end with a hearing as bad as his. His own ears have namely caused irrepairable damage by earphones he was wearing during recordings, writes Townshend on his website. Therefor he has to rest 36h between each recording to recover. Townshend. Although The Who was known for the very loud sound during their live-concerts, Townshend thinks that the damage to his hearing is only caused because of the use of headphones.
Another article was about Ron Wood (Roling Stones)
Ron Wood collects stamps
Roling Stones-guitarist Ron wood has a new addiction. He collects stamps. At the moment the 59-year old guitarist tries to ulcerate his alcoholpast away. Therefor he does a lot of painting an collecting stamps.
(I think it's pretty funny to see a sex-drugs-and-rocknroller collecting stamps, would he be exchanging stamps with Keith, Mick and Charlie at the moment??)
Don't shoot me if it's wrong what they say! I just wrote what's exactly in the newspaper (het belang van limburg)
hope you enjoyed!!!
Grtz Elke!

Hi Elke
Fun thing about Pete & iPod:
The source of this message was petetownshend.co.uk - Pete's own writing.
Newspapers then published it, first in English and then your regional newspaper. Now you give us back your English version. Things come full circle, don't they?
I can recommend looking up Ron Wood's site. I find him an awesome painter. He's another rocker with an art school background...

PS we're off to Brussels for the weekend.
Says MyVal, Teacher of business English: your translation is above average.
And I do like your image of old rockers swapping stamps!
Compliments

Hi Elke,
You must listen to Pete with regards to iPods, etc...There are plenty of us who destroyed our ears with loud concerts and loud earphones in our youth and now have reduced hearing as a result.
I loved the Ron Wood story. Stamps! Too cute.
Cheers,
AM
