I'm puzzled by this:

"Empty Glass" can be seen as Pete Townshend's "coming out" album, a solo work that delves deeply into issues of bisexuality ... "Rough Boys" records a frustrated sexuality revolving around an attraction to men...

Now, I don't know so if I'm wrong I'm wrong -- but isn't it possible "Rough Boys" was, like "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Baba O'Riley" on Who's Next, intended for the Lifehouse project? In which case it's not about Pete after all, but an exploration of a fictional character?

After all, in the very first stanza are the lines, "Under the sheets/Nobody knows her."

As for "And I Moved" -- okay, I don't know what that's about. 24.178.126.182 19:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Rough Boys is about English punks and some American homosexuals wearing military clothing (often Nazi) in the 60s and the irony of how these tough punks were actually dressing in the same way as gay people who they probably despised. Yes, he is playing a character. Chillymail 11:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
