My birthday song, my happy world (Part 17)....

Badass Birthday

Today is the birthday, back in 1945, of the guitarist for The Who, Pete Townshend!

The Who in it's entirety is pretty badass, but Pete Townshend did windmill chords on the guitar, swinging his hand in a big circle and in doing so, he slashed chunks of his fingers off on occasion. Losing parts of your finger to make music is CERTAINLY badass!
