The intense character actor with the pockmarked face and the curled lip is as famous for his antics off screen as his stellar talent on screen. Rumored to be a genius, Woods is a MIT grad with an IQ of 180. But apparently this frightening intelligence has not helped him steer clear of Hollywood havoc. With an endless stream of actress girlfriends, he is a favorite of the tabloids. His career is also remarkable with over 90 feature film roles. He has also won 3 Emmys.

Pete Townshend (Click here to buy video online)
4:00 a.m.
EST
Life of the guitarist, singer, and songwriter for The Who best known for his conceptual works, including "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia". Townshend's music perceived, distilled and played back what felt true about a moment in time and a socio-political climate, as clearly and authentically as only the blues and the first stirrings of rock and roll in the 1950's had. What he had to say was hard-edged, perceptive, often cynical and right on. It spawned an ongoing tradition of popular music whose form, performance and the lifestyle surrounding it embodied its messages. His writing power and vitality endure today, as does his influence on younger musicians and artists in many genres of live performance and new forms of theater. |

Starting out as a folk-rocker with bands like Buffalo Springfield in the 60's and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in the 70's, Neil Young established himself as an original, compelling voice of rebellion for the Woodstock generation. But while other icons of that generation faded, Young's uncompromising, rebellious spirit crashed through generational barriers. He was embraced by Punk rockers and 80's bands like Devo and Sonic Youth. In the 90's he was dubbed "the Godfather of Grunge". Young has proven himself to be the most durable of all rock musicians of his generation. |
