Can Anyone Explain This Pete Townshend Quote For Me?

“If it screams truth rather than help, if it commits itself with a courage that it can’t be sure it really has, if it stands up and admits that something is wrong, but doesn’t insist on blood, then it’s rock n’ roll.” -Pete Townshend

So what does this really mean?

How about Rock n’ Roll is bringing the issues to the listeners. Its bringing the information out in a neutral way saying here’s the problem we need to fix. Its not demanding action just knowledge. You can’t fix a problem without it being known.

Sounds like a quote a drugged out old rocker would come up with. Some people will think it is so “profound” it is gibberish.
