    Did you know that Pete Townsend may have to quit performing because of tinnitus? Apparently it came back so bad after performing at the Super Bowl, I read that unless he can figure out how to stop tinnitus from returning after he performs, he may decide to give up performing.

    Pete Townshend of the WHO? was put on the British Violent and Sex Offender Register (ViSOR) for visiting a child porn website.
    So he's been banned from entering the US right? Wrong. That's may change.
