I-95 Drive Home Featured Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s featured artist named what would become one of his biggest hits after his spiritual guru and an admired composer.  Any guess for the song or artist?

Tonight we’ll start with our artist, Pete Townsend of The Who.  Townsend was quoted in the “Who’s Next” liner notes, that the first part of the title comes from Meher Baba, who was his spiritual guru. The second part comes from Terry Riley, an experimental, minimalist composer he admired - many of the keyboard riffs and sound effects on Who's Next were a result of Riley's influence. He continued to say,  it was written as his vision of what would happen if the spirit of Meher Baba was fed into a computer and transformed into music. The result would be Baba in the style of Terry Riley, or "Baba O'Riley."

Here's Pete talking about drugs, fame and Mehre Baba.
