Noise of the World – Artists in Their Own Words: Episode 11 Peter Townshend Invented the Internet.

Before a live webcast of music from Lifehouse, The Who’s unmade film that spawned Who’s Next, Peter Townshend talks about his web prescience.

“One thing I did predict, which really went down very, very badly … I gave a lecture at the Royal College of Art … I talked about … that music would be sold down the telephone. They all got up and walked out … a couple that remained, remained only to heckle.”

Peter Townsend, 2000
