\"Pete<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

\n

by Owen Murray<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1980 Pete Townshend made his MTV debut by dancing around in a pool hall with his guitar, ogling at the macho men smoking cigarettes in leather jackets as they brushed off his incessant flirtation. Shockingly, even with the accompanying lyrics \u201cTough boys, Come over here, I want to bite and kiss you,\u201d and more explicitly, \u201cGonna get inside you,\u201d the \u201cRough Boys\u201d video didn\u2019t read as obviously gay at the time of its release. <\/p>\n

In the video, Pete wasn\u2019t dressed eccentrically. In fact, he looked pretty macho himself. Somehow, that was enough to make people think \u201cI wanna get inside you\u201d was just a no-homo kind of thing rough boys might say to each other. Townshend\u2019s coming out as bisexual in 1989 (which he took back in an interview with Playboy<\/em> 1994 only to come out again in his 2012 biography) eliminated what little ambiguity there was in the video. <\/p>\n

While \u201cRough Boys\u201d could be seen as the surprise coming out of an otherwise traditional rock star figure, Townshend\u2019s underappreciated history of questioning and examining male gender roles as the frontman of The Who makes the song less of a shock. <\/p>\n

As their name lets on, The Who deals with identity crises. Their thoughtful introspections throughout their entire catalog set them apart from their more ultra-masculine rock peers. <\/p>\n

On \u201cTattoo\u201d from 1967\u2019s The Who Sell Out,<\/em> Roger Daltrey sang \u201cMe and my brother were talking to each other about what makes a man. Was it brain or brawn or the month you were born? We just didn\u2019t understand.\u201d Instead of giving them constructive ways to answer this fundamental question, their father berates them, saying \u201conly women wear long hair,\u201d leaving them with no understanding of what a man should be. The endearing lyrics, written by Townshend, show naive young boys who are well-meaning but deeply misguided. By the chorus, the two brothers decide that to affirm their manhood they need to get tattoos.<\/p>\n

\n

Welcome to my life, tattoo<\/p>\n

I’m a man now, thanks to you<\/p>\n

I expect I’ll regret you but the skin graft man won’t get you<\/p>\n

You’ll be there when I die<\/p>\n

Tattoo<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tuneful melody keeps the tone of the song light, but the lyrics reveal a deep-seated misunderstanding of manhood that is never resolved. All the boys have to show for it is a tattoo that they know they\u2019ll regret. It\u2019s a childish act, but it\u2019s startling and revealing. If a boy might do something as silly as getting a tattoo to prove his manhood, what else might he do? And why don\u2019t the boys have any guidance?<\/p>\n

The Who explores these themes more thoroughly in their rock opera Quadrophenia <\/em>(1973). The album pays tribute to the British gang The Mods who had been loyal fans of The Who. While it\u2019s a loving tribute, it\u2019s also a nuanced character portrait of the main character Jimmy, a boy who struggles with finding his own identity and uses the gang as a misguided attempt to gain a sense of belonging and fraternity. <\/p>\n

Jimmy\u2019s parents are stifling and judgmental, and without any productive outlet for self-expression, he joins the Mods in a justified but juvenile act of rebellion and gets caught up in a culture of amphetamines and street fights. <\/p>\n

Unknowingly, Jimmy trades off one restrictive environment for another when he buys into the gang attitude which mandates that he wear a \u201czoot suit, white jacket with side vents, five inches long\u201d (\u201cCut My Hair\u201d) if he\u2019s going out dancing and \u201cride a D.S. scooter\u201d with his \u201chair cut neat\u201d and a \u201cwartime coat for the wind and sleet\u201d (\u201cI\u2019ve Had Enough\u201d) to represent his gang wherever he is. <\/p>\n

Similar to the two brothers in \u201cTattoo\u201d who are told \u201conly women wear long hair,\u201d Jimmy is given a fixed idea of his role and is left dissatisfied. This comes to a breaking point on \u201cDoctor Jimmy\u201d when a drug-addled and rampaging Jimmy screams \u201cwhat is it? I\u2019ll take it. Who is she? I\u2019ll rape it! Got a bet there? I\u2019ll meet it. Gettin\u2019 high. Can\u2019t beat it!\u201d <\/p>\n

Living his life, transitioning from one toxic environment to the next has turned Jimmy into a violent, belligerent, misogynistic monster. His lack of care for others is outdone only by his lack of care for himself. It isn\u2019t clear what he has or hasn\u2019t done by the end of his bender, but what he says is absolutely indefensible. But while there is legitimate shame for Jimmy\u2019s actions, the greater shame lies in the closed-minded society that told him everything a boy couldn\u2019t be while refusing to offer him the constructive guidance he so badly needed. <\/p>\n

Jimmy is representative of an entire generation of British boys who felt lost and looked to drugs, gangs, and The Who to feel a sense of purpose. Pete Townshend responded to their idolatry with empathy and as much understanding as he could muster. <\/p>\n

Considering his coming out much later in his career, as well as his outrageously destructive stage-antics, it seems like Townshend identified with his male fans who felt suffocated by their gender roles and acted out in immature or aggressive ways. In his solo work and his work for The Who, Townshend created a harrowing commentary on toxic masculinity while embodying many of the hyper-masculine characteristics he critiques and challenges. <\/p>\n

Townshend isn\u2019t often looked at as an LGBTQ icon, or even a gender-conscious figure, but his thoughtful storytelling shows an intense yearning to rebel against traditional gender roles and works towards a more accepting, inclusive, and healthy place for boys and men. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
