Who singer and guitarist Pete Townshend is at it again. The 64 year old musician is currently working on a new rock opera entitled Floss. Pete Townshend, who once said that he hopes he dies before he gets old, is writing about the process of getting old and coming to terms with it. In the process, Townshend is facing his own mortality. Pete was once said that when he looks in the mirror he no longer sees a young man, but now sees a dried up old prune.
As he did with Tommy and Quadrophenia before he is in talks with New York producers to create a stage show featuring the songs of Floss for a 2011 production date. Tommy and Quadrophenia also were produced on film. Based on the success of the stage show and depending on Townshend's feelings, there may be a chance that Floss will be produced on film.
This latest creation by Townshend promises to be a real eye opener as it will allow the listener to not only see Townshend's mortality, but realize his or her own mortality through Townshend's words and imagery.
The songs of Floss will be featured on the Who's next album scheduled for a 2010 release.
