Talk:Empty Glass

Untitled
I'm puzzled by this:


 * "Empty Glass" can be seen as Pete Townshend's "coming out" album, a solo work that delves deeply into issues of bisexuality ... "Rough Boys" records a frustrated sexuality revolving around an attraction to men...

Now, I don't know so if I'm wrong I'm wrong -- but isn't it possible "Rough Boys" was, like "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Baba O'Riley" on Who's Next, intended for the Lifehouse project? In which case it's not about Pete after all, but an exploration of a fictional character?

After all, in the very first stanza are the lines, "Under the sheets/Nobody knows her."

As for "And I Moved" -- okay, I don't know what that's about. 24.178.126.182 19:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Rough Boys is about English punks and some American homosexuals wearing military clothing (often Nazi) in the 60s and the irony of how these tough punks were actually dressing in the same way as gay people who they probably despised. Yes, he is playing a character. Chillymail 11:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

The 2 instances of "North America" in this article should be replaced with "United States". Billboard is a United States chart. There is no country called North America and no charts published for it. 174.24.134.218 (talk) 11:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Pete Townshend solo albums
The article states that Empty Glass is Townshend’s 2nd solo album, after Rough Mix. What about Who Came First, in 1972, 5 years before Rough Mix? 222.152.25.127 (talk) 00:36, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That is correct, Empty Glass is his second solo album. The Who Came First article has always stated that that is his debut album. Rough Mix is not a solo album of Townshend's, it is a collaborative album with Ronnie Lane therefore it is not counted as a solo album of his. Hiddenstranger (talk) 02:56, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

And I Moved
Does Townshend provide any information about this beautiful numbar? 2603:8000:3940:74:3481:2A40:C83F:4865 (talk) 03:46, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
