Classic Rock/Pete Townshend

Question
I work for a book publishing company and would like to get in touch with
Pete Townshend to ask if he'd consider contributing to a book we are doing.  
Do you have any contact details for his current management/agent? Thanks.

Answer
  Although I am an active musician, I am completely independant and have no contacts in any part of the corporate music industry.
  My suggestion would be to go to Mr Townsends web site ( last I heard  he has a web site that he is quite active with) and send him an email at any contact info provided there.  In the absence of contact info if he has an active board there you could try posting a message to him on the board using a temporary email address.  
 I have had contact over the net with popular artists in the past, having gotten response from them by writing to their web site contact info.  Normally I am asking them a technical question about something involving music (rather than just fan mail),  so I tend to get responses.  

 I wish I could help you more than that.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
