Pete Townshend celebrated his 70th birthday Tuesday with the release of the politically charged new track "Guantanamo" that will be featured on his upcoming solo compilation Truancy: The Very Best of Pete Townshend. As evidenced by the title, the new song is about the American military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Townshend sings, "Down in Guantanamo, we still got the ball and chain. There's a long road to travel for justice to make its claim." Townshend said in a statement, "I thought this song might never see the light of day. But now [that] President Obama has relaxed sanctions in Cuba, it is a happy sign he might go further.
