Pete Townshend
I was dropped off at the movie theater alone as a young teen, and went to see Tommy. I sat alone, awestruck as Mr Townshend wind-milled and jumped around during Pinball Wizard. I had no clue who he was at the time. I later had hopes of catching the Who live. I finally saw them live in Phoenix, AZ on Halloween of 1982. And then again on their Farewell tour years later. I like the grandfatherly Pete just and well as the young maniac! Long Live Rock, Pete! Just getting better with time!

Maybe it was a concert, or a CD (or an LP for us older players), or a song on the radio. There is usually one defining moment when we hear a player for the first time and they become our hero.
Here is your chance to tell the story of how a particular player became your hero. If you have an interesting story to tell, simply email me the story. Be sure to include the name of your hero and your name.
