Liking The Who: It's Hard

Because I can just sort of put that Pete Townsend internet-child-porn thing out of mind long enough to dig 5:15 again, but then he does something stupid again.

Like speaking up on behalf of Michael Jackson:

PETE TOWNSHEND is thrilled MICHAEL JACKSON has been acquitted of child abuse charges, and has slammed the star's harrowing child abuse trial as"absurd".

The WHO guitarist, who was also at the centre of a media frenzy after he visited a child porn website for research purposes two years ago (03), sympathises with the THRILLER singer, and is convinced his intentions around children have always been pure.

A statement on his official website reads, "So, another absurd celebrity trial collapsed. I was pleased Michael was cleared.

"My only experience of his dealings with children is that he's unselfishly helped every cause, and individual child, I have sent his way."

Next up: Tom Sizemore and Robert Downey Jr. defend Nick Nolte and Billy Joel.

Daniel Baldwin will defend them too, but who the hell cares about Daniel Baldwin? On the Baldwin-meter, he just barely rates above Cousin Bernie the Accountant.

Thanks to Master of None.
