Pete Townshend Loves Theresa Russell but Nic Roeg got to have her

Pete Townshend Loves Theresa Russell but Nic Roeg got to have her

 

"Athena" was originally written by Pete Townshend after an encounter with the American actress Theresa Russell.  After seeing a Pink Floyd performance on their Wall Tour with Russell and his friend, Bill Minkin, Townshend was rejected by the actress when he attempted to romance her.

 Townshend said of the incident:

    The song was written after I had been to see The Wall with my friend Bill Minkin and the actress Theresa Russell who was about to marry the film director Nic Roeg with whom I hoped to work on a new version of Lifehouse. I got drunk as usual, but I had taken my first line of cocaine that very evening before meeting her and decided I was in love. When I came to do the vocal on the following day [Feb. 15, 1980] I was really out of my mind with frustration and grief because she didn't reciprocate.

Under the working title "Teresa," the song's name was changed to "Athena." Despite this alteration, Townshend still felt the song was too personal, claiming, "It was just too revealing." Roger Daltrey, however, disliked the song for this change.

    No, I never liked that song ["Athena"]. It's a great record. I think what happened with that song, it was originally called "Teresa" and then Pete was talking to me about Nick Roeg's girlfriend and how he fancied her, and that song was written about her - but then it changed into 'She's a bomb' and I think I've got a psychological problem with it. I listened to it on the record the other day, and it's a great record; there's so much energy on that thing but I still don't think there's a center to that song. The fact that he changed the title in that and didn't stick to what it was supposed to be lost its center to me.
    — Roger Daltrey, The News of the World, 2010[3]

A demo for the original "Teresa" was first recorded and presented to The Who by Pete Townshend during the Face Dances sessions. However, the song was not used until It's Hard.

On "Athena" Roger Daltrey and Townshend share lead vocals. John Entwistle also adds horns to the track.


Released‎: ‎4 September 1982

Teresa Lyrics:

Teresa, I had no idea how much I'd need her / Take me home and teach me how to feed her / My heart is palpitating and I guess wrong / But I guess ... She's just a girl. I don't know if I love her. Passion Teresa, just a girl just a girl. Teresa, she's just a girl just a girl. Teresa, just a girl just a girl. Teresa, just a girl

Doug Meet thanks amy. doesn't it sound like some weird Memphis song off of whatever that Robert Gordon book was called, 'it came from memphis'? we (Our Favorite Band) were lucky enough to have 'Wet Bar' on it, which i think most people consider Ross Johnson's stream of unconscious masterpiece with music by Donald At MotiveArt and backup by other twisted Memphians.

OFB!

Doug Meet AT least you check your mentions--now check your friend requests. thanks for the placement on the CD (was that 30 years ago?). Ross Johnson (i don't think that's him) is immortalized. did you know, that was supposed to be on our sophomore record, but ...See More

Doug Meet please disregard the two fb links from above--they are both douchebags and not the giants of the music industry which i intended. i will immediately go to Walgreens and up my strength.

bill mann 19th Aug 2015		Another bit to add to JLL's legacy !
DeadWax 19th Aug 2015		In 1980, still married to her cousin, Bonny moved down south. One day she arrived, uninvited at Jerry Lee Lewis's boyhood home. Frankie Jean Lewis, the rocker's sister, says Bonny sashayed into her living room with a tape recorder playing striptease music. "She takes off her blouse and peels down her stockings," says Frankie. "It was good. She said 'I'd like to meet your brother.' So I got Jerry on the phone and I said 'Jerry, we got us a real live one here.' And he said 'Send her up.' That's what he always said

Johnny Paycheck - Colorado Kool-Aid

Lyrics

Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas
Was drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans
An' we was, what's that you say?
What's Colorado Cool-Aid?

Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream
It'll set you head on fire an' make your kidneys scream
Oh, it sure is fine
Yeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times

But you know every beer joint that you've ever been in
Some big, mean drunk who just ain't got no friend
Sure enough, he wants to fight
Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in sight

Well, he took him a big cold swallow of beer
And he walked over and spit in my Mexican friends ear
And sure enough that made my buddy real mad
That's somethin' like he ain't never had

Well, Sir, he pulled out a big, long switch blade knife
Quick as a whistle he began to slice
That big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears
Lookin' down at the floor, an' one of his ears

Ha, he cut that thing off even with the sideburns
You might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a darn
But he was a gentleman about it
An' bent over and with a half way grin
Picked it up and handed it back to him

He said, "Now big man, you get the urge to spit a little beer
"Just open up your hand there and spit it in your own ear
Won't be no trouble that way", that's what I heard him say

And I said, "Barmaid, set us up a round of that Colorado Cool-Aid
While you're up there, bring this big fella here, a box of Bandaids"

Now let me tell you if you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas
And decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Cool-Aid
An' maybe talk to some Mexicans
An' you get the urge to get a little tough
Better make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muff

Hey, ain't that right, big man? I said ain't that right big man?
Ah, hell he can't hear, not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear

Hey barmaid, bring us all a big, tall glass of that Colorado Cool-Aid
How about it?
How you doin', big man? Still got your ear there in your hand?
