Chris Charlesworth talks about writing his new memoir Just Backdated, being Melody Maker’s man in America during the 70s, giving Debbie Harry her first UK print exposure, an unexpected phone call from Keith Moon after writing a glowing review, getting to know The Who and their families, and his feelings on the band playing with an orchestra.
Plus: after Pete Townshend announces upcoming Who activity in 2025, Paul ponders what that might look like and whether it’s finally time to bring back some obscure early material on stage.
