MANIC<br />
GENIUS<br />
Pete Townshend is<br />
branching out. He might<br />
be best known as the<br />
guitarist from legendary<br />
British rock band The Who,<br />
but November will see him<br />
release his debut novel. The<br />
Age of Anxiety – described<br />
as “a great rock novel” and<br />
“an extended meditation on<br />
manic genius” – is a dark<br />
tale of creativity that is part<br />
of a grand body of work that<br />
will eventually fuse fiction<br />
writing with opera and<br />
installation art.<br />
“I’m an avid reader and<br />
have really enjoyed writing it.<br />
It’s tremendously exciting,”<br />
said Townshend, who is also<br />
in the midst of working with<br />
his old bandmates on The<br />
Who’s first album of new<br />
material in 13 years.<br />

MORRISSEY<br />
ANNOUNCES<br />
BROADWAY<br />
RESIDENCY<br />
Morrissey has always been a divisive character, but just<br />
recently some of his socio-political views have been so<br />
strong they’ve even started to turn hardcore fans away.<br />
<strong>Music</strong>ally though he will always remain a giant of the indie<br />
world. To that end, the famous miserablist has announced<br />
he is taking on a career-spanning Broadway residency.<br />
The former Smiths frontman will play seven shows at the<br />
Lunt-Fontanne Theater, in Midtown Manhattan, between<br />
2 and 11 May.<br />
Though the content of the shows remains to be<br />
unveiled, it’s being described as “an intimate yet exciting<br />
exploration of Morrissey’s expansive career from his early<br />
days to his upcoming new record”.<br />
The record in question is California Son, which arrives<br />
on Etienne Records/BMG, on 24 May, and is his first<br />
cover album.<br />
