<p> "I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman.
And I won't be classified as just a man." With those words,
guitarist PETE TOWNSHEND sent the gossip world into a hypertizzy
mode. Sifted from the new book Rock Lives: Profiles &
Interviews, Townshend's remarks noted that "I'd been surrounded
by people that I really adored--and was actually sexually
attracted to--who were men." That caused many to label the
interview a coming out, but Townshend, married and the father
of three, also says in the book that he was merely acknowledging
bisexual sympathies that every "complete artist" has. His
position: "I don't want to betray my gay fans' feelings of
solidarity with me. I really don't think it matters whether I'm
gay or not."
