First Gary Glitter and now Pete Townsend. What the fuck is wrong with these rock stars? If you get caught with child pornography, I think that claiming that the Pictures were for 'research purposes' is a piss-poor excuse. If you are writing a book on criminal behavior then you might be able to using that excuse, but when you are an aging rock star this doesn't quite work. Next he'll be claiming that he was doing research for Tommy Part 2, where Tommy's priest takes advantage of the poor deaf, dumb and blind kid. I bet that part of the plot involves him playing with 'balls' other than the Pin variety.
