How to add a touch event to a UIView?

How do I add a touch event to a UIView?
I try:

UIView *headerView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, nextY)] autorelease];
[headerView addTarget:self action:@selector(myEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
// ERROR MESSAGE: UIView may not respond to '-addTarget:action:forControlEvents:'

I don’t want to create a subclass and overwrite

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
