Out now is the Who's latest vault DVD, called Live In Texas '75.

Pete Townshend is busy promoting his new memoir, Who I Am. and will appear today (October 11th) signing copies of the book at Ridgewood, New Jersey's Bookends book store at 6 p.m. In addition to appearing on ABC's The View, he's already sat down for a two-hour Q&A at the New York Public Library to discuss the autobiography.

Who guitarist Pete Townshend sat down for a 90-minute question and answer press conference in conjunction with the release of his autobiography 'Who I Am' at the New York Public Library yesterday (October 8). He talked about the band, his love of smashing his guitars, Jimi Hendrix and much more.

Out today is Pete Townshend's long-awaited autobiography, called, Who I Am. Townshend, who began posting excerpts on his website several years back, talks candidly about his the sexual abuse he suffered as a child, his creative process both with and without the Who, his personal life -- and for the first time in detail, his 2003 arrest and caution for logging on to porn sites believed to carry images of children.
