Song #423: "Give Blood"--Pete Townshend (1985)

We welcome Pete Townshend's solo work to the countdown with the first of five songs. This one leads off the 1985 "White City: A Novel" release, and hit rock radio for a time in early 1986. That means I would have likely been introduced to it on "PYX 106" (pronounced "Picks 106") out of Albany while in college, or maybe the old "Rock 105" WBEC, one of our radio competitors in Pittsfield.

Simple premise to this song, stop the bloodshed, and give love instead, keeping blood between brothers. Townshend had some fantastic solo work, and we'll see him again, and again, and again, and then again.  :)
