Short story:
Empty Glass, a solo album by Pete Townshend of The Who, is certified as a gold album in the USA.Full article:
Pete Townshend (guitarist, The Who) : Alcoholism produced my most morally bereft period - 1978 through 1980 - and Empty Glass, which most people think is my best solo work. That album is, in a sense, a cry for stability, a cry for an empty glass, for sobriety and for a return to values that I held above everything else. But the reason the cry was authentic was that I was in real trouble. The album is like a war medal. I went through hell and I don't undervalue it, but I don't aspire to do it again. The fourteen years since then, being sober, are far preferable, though a few months ago I decided to go on a bender.
