Pete Townshend pens new songs for Tommy revival

Pete Townshend has composed some new songs that could get featured in a revival production of the Who's Rock Opera Tommy.  Motivation for writing the new material came when the Who guitarist found out the organizers of the production are making a concerted effort to develop and cast roles for actors with disabilities.  Townshend applauded the move in a media release that read in part, "when I heard they planned to do a production featuring actors with disabilities of various kinds, I became very excited.  This is a totally new adventure, and really does refer back to my original story in which a young man, disabled by extreme trauma, finds his way to some kind of spiritual place because he can FEEL music.  I can't wait to see it."
