Yes I agree he is one of the best I never get tired of this band made timeless music Tommy quadrophenia my generation who's next proper albums anyway anyhow anywhere who are you mcvicar the list goes on seen him do Tommy couple years back played nearly 3hours he still got it
I always preferred Roger's voice over the high screechy "baby, baby, baby" singers that always seem to get more credit. His voice, to me, was what Rock was always about - testosterone enriched power, but also control and range.
He's also so humble about "If you don't use it AT MY AGE, you lose it." I can play anything on guitar, but I can't sing like him or people half as good as him. Can't believe he's still hitting it out of the ballpark at his age. Keeps living up to his name!
Interesting Lee enough they hired him because he was tougher than the rest of the band despite being the short guy. They needed protection. But The Who are perpetual rock-and-roll history legends IN NO SHORT PART because of him
I never saw many interviews with Roger. I always had it in my mind that he was very serious. Every time I see him interviewed now he is smiling, joking and laughing. I love that.
Great, great talent coming out of the U.K. during the 60s. Beatles, Stones, The Who, Kinks, Led Zep. Never to repeated again. Nothing even remotely comparable in music today.
Esteban Nemo Had to do a double take to make sure I hadn't written that myself.. Exactly, to everything you said. Music from that time period, especially out of Britain, can NEVER be matched or repeated. Lighting only strikes once!
Roger Daltrey is the most amazing man. He is so gorgeous! It's hard to believe that so much perfection was put into one human! I got to meet him last week and he is the nicest person. I neglected to tell him how wonderful I think he is for all of his work with Teen Cancer America.
I've meet Roger here in England a few years bk he's a great guy I got a pic with him an autograph and a 5 min talk and he shook my hand and wished me all the best Rogers a great guy 😎
Charles peterson Saw them as well. First group my brother got me hooked on and I fell in love with Roger! Absolutely the best rock band but always underrated!
As a live band, I'd have to agree...The Beatles had stopped playing live, When I see old clips of the Stones (who I like quite a lot) live, in their prime...they were ok...but not stupendous....and Led Zeppelin...a great band...but whenever I see clips of the live, I found them kind of boring (I'll catch a lot of flack for saying that)..... But The Who really put on a great show live (The Isle of Wight 1970 performance was awesome (check out Young Man Blues from that show, if you've never had the opportunity).
Interview: The Sixties were"sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Daltrey" It wasnt just the bands!" Interviewer asked at least 3 qq in a row. about sex, drugs, and rock & roll. What about the music?
Very humble man, Many thanks for all the great music you shared with us all. Your next book should be how to stay married 40+ years being in a Rock Band?!!! Thanks
Keith Moon let me play his drums after the Who played in our little old market town club back in the 60s, not an easy act to follow. As for this interview I thought it quite good for what it is, daytime TV hosted by quite a pleasant couple who showed Roger the respect he deserves.
Roger Daltrey: wonderful, amazing, gorgeous etc... as always But.......... fuck! Always the same questions? It is for this reason that Roger wrote a book.,,¬¬
ive read his book already, know all about the who anyway? first who book I read was before I get old, read it in 1984 when I was 12, just started being a mod, SHIT im 46 now, thank fuck I look 15 years younger, full hair, no grey,
Absolutely! He must be sick and tired of being asked the same questions in every interview.I was lucky enough to see The Who back in 1976 and it still ranks as one of the top ten shows I've ever seen. You've got to love Daltrey. He always seems such a down to earth,likeable guy.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one! It’s a lot of the same old same old, of course, but that’s what happens. I love Roger- he’s such a great guy. He’s so funny and has no filter whatsoever... I’ve met him a couple of times, and he’s lovely - very down to earth, friendly and warm. Cute, too!
When Roger mentions making your own gear, I was dying to hear him mention Brian May. Brian has got to be far-and-away the most successful specimen of building your own guitar and taking it to the public. That was the same time that The Who “joined together”, and Brian was only seventeen when he and his father rounded out that axe of his. It’s awesome to hear Roger say that Keith Moon was actually doing some of those hotels a favor because they were in need of upgrades to begin with. Totally charming way of letting his departed drummer off the hook for his shenanigans. I would be a liar if I did not admit that The Who were at the core of my own decision to become a rock ‘n’ roll guitarist, even if I haven’t listened to most of their records yet. *Tommy* alone, coupled with their set at Woodstock, was a direct impact on me.
The more you explore Pete's great writing, the more you will be convinced that they are at least equal in brilliance to The Beatles. I began singing in Who tributes as the female parts in Tommy but Quadrophenia is a masterpiece as is The Who Sells Out, the songs Parvidigar, Melancholia, Drowned, I'll Be Back, Substitute, Ball and Chain, Tea, are every bit as good musically as anything the Fans wrote (and I love The Beatles). And please read Rog's book and Pete's!
Daltrey, Jagger, McCartney, I appreciate the intelligence, wit, seriousness and sanity of these rockers who grew up in the shadow of war. They knew deprivation and made something of themselves.
They were all born towards the end of WW2 and the Britain they grew up in was still in the shadow of the war. As kids they'd have played on the many bomb sites that were still around.
Roger is STILL FINE! His wife knew what she was talking about with that hair! I always thought he was a gorgeous man! I love The Who! The Rock Opera's and all the rest!
Pete was the moody, easily-irritated intellectual genius, but Daltrey was the 'salt of the earth' soul of that band. For comic relief Keith was the jester and John was the 'brick wall' - what a well rounded band they all were, and what a complete gentleman Roger STILL is..Roger was the member that visited the families of the Cincinnati concert victimsong ago - what a kind and decent man...
He is kind, but he's not afraid to say what he thinks - no filter - and I don't think he suffers fools gladly. That said, I've met him twice, and he's lovely.
“We’re closer today than we ever had been and having more fun.” 2:17 “Sex, drugs, and rock n roll!” The way the anchor on the left looks at her is just comedy gold. I know she was moving to her next question but the timing is hysterical🤣🤣
Love the Who, one of my favourite all-time groups. So many incredible bands came out of Britain in the early to mid 1960's with many of the members being classmates from the time they were small children. The greatest period of rock musicians, lyricists, and vocalists there has ever been. I grew up listening to these bands even though I was much younger (7-8 years old) than virtually all their fans back in the day. My fav's were/are the Beatles, The Who, Badfinger, Small Faces/Faces, The Stones, The Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, anything Clapton, and on the American side Hendrix, Nilsson, The Byrds, early Eagles....and I've still missed quite a few as the list could go on and on. My All-time favourites will always be the Beatles, The Who, and Badfinger (what tragically lost talent in Pete Ham and Tom Evan's, as the result of poor/crooked management). Many, many, thanks to Roger, Pete, (and the late) John, and Keith for bringing some of the greatest music and sound that I've ever had the pleasure to hear and enjoy. Without a doubt one of the greatest Rock Bands there ever was/is or ever will be. You guys set the "bar" very, very, high. The 4 of you, along with Kenny Jones, gave the world some of the finest music ever made.
Eloquently put David. I idolised The Who when I was growing up, I consider myself very fortunate to have been born in the late 60's not too late to be able to appreciate their music from the age of around 11 years old. They were and still are masters of their craft.
I don't know what the name of the show was but Roger played a music teacher for some school. When his face appeared on TV I remember thinking I would have loved to have him for my high school music teacher. Another give away was his British accent which I thought sounded really cool.
Roger Daltrey is awesome, he is an awesome musician and actor. He is awesome being a member and the lead singer of the awesome rock band The Who. I loved his recurring role as the immortal Hugh Fitzcairn in the awesome 1990s sci-fi fantasy TV series "Highlander" (1992-1998).
@@IMeMineWho Roger Daltrey had a great role on that awesome show. They had other musicians appear on Highlander like Roland Gift, the lead singer of the Fine Young Cannibals. He played the evil immortal Xavier St. Cloud, Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet appeared on an episode as an immortal, Joan Jett and Sheena Easton appeared in one episode as an immortal. Vanity appeared as a mortal married to an immortal in one episode.
i bought the book earlier this week and i've readed half of it so far, and i gotta say its pretty damn good! i didn't even know their early tour bus was stolen
My maths teacher told my mother that I was a dreamer and I would never acheive anything, he was wrong, I never became a Teacher, Roger is a class Guy, he's been doing this since i was born 58 years ago for God's sake !
You always hope for knowledgeable people to interview these legends. Alas, it just never seems to happen. There's 50 years of Daltrey-Townshend and Who lineage to cover, along with solo career, Tommy, Live Aid, etc, etc..and this is what they come up with.
He recently worked with Wilko Johnson, he's done a fair bit of acting (not just Tommy), works with teenage cancer charities. Loads of stuff to talk about but they ask him stuff about wrecking hotel rooms.
Sorry but they don't have people in their 70's interviewing people in that same age group. The people doing the interviewing are the young pretty faces of the day. All this talk about The Who, and World War 2 and the years after, this is just World History and pop cultural history to them. The male is too busy being as GAY as he can be, almost lusting after Roger or young Roger. These kids weren't even alive in the sixties, seventies or even the 80's. So we get people who simply cannot appreciate living legends. The same would be true if you asked my 57 year old self to appreciate any so called modern music or pop culture. I just do NOT appreciate it. I wouldn't even pretend to.
@@metalmick HAHAHHAHAH, because he's gay! Dude, you should take this stuff on the road. Just go up on stage and say who's gay, and you'll be on "The Tonight Show" within a month.
I've got a lot of time for Roger D, I read his book and like how he is so matter of fact, comical and down to earth about his time with The Who. A top guy although I can never agree with him regarding his views on Brexit.
Imagine the odds, of living through that era of extreme excess when so many rock stars died young or at least destroyed themselves with booze and drugs, to emerge decades later looking and sounding so clean and handsome. You have Daltrey, Ringo, Paul and just a few others. Also, despite his Rock God status he just comes off as an average nice bloke who may have been on a lighted stage at some point. Obviously swimming in money, but his demeanor suggests a more humble background.
Yes, they ask questions like a machine that had been programmed - just doing their jobs. Doubt either one likes the Who’s music. They seem more fascinated that they are talking to a famous celebrity than in what that person did.
GoodbyePanama - You're right! I am challenged every day by the temptation to get mad at some young person, and they just don't know. They're not stupid, but they are badly educated, and, to top it off, they're always told that their little phone-thing has access to ALL knowledge, so there's no need to waste time LEARNING anything. In the meantime, Roger(and Pete Townsend) is still smart and nicely witty, a perfect guest for any TV personality with a brain. I have read the book he's promoting, and there's these great stories - which these clowns could have read, and gotten a really great interview - Roger was ready to talk. So what we got instead was the young hosts looking like wooden marionettes. And Roger looking like a parent, with infinite patience caring for a child unable to get all their porridge into their mouth.
Slade was my first concert nov 73 in Asbury park.n.j.Ear Preicing fckin LOUD...But Great..the who was my 2nd concert dec 73 in Philly.1st leg of the Quadrophenia tour...than the flood gates opened.with all the Greats....almost touched Moon coming off the ramp behind the stage.with his gasoline Esso jumpsuit
Saw the same tour in Los Angeles, Thanksgiving '73. Greatest concert ever. The encore clapping lasted 20 minutes, not a soul left the building and for the only time that I know of, they did an actual, unplanned encore. Pete even smashed his guitar. Like you, it was the 2nd concert I'd been to. Nothing else ever came close. Still gives me chills. Forum, section 12, row S, seat 1.
A great story, Craig. I was born too late to see Keith play live, but I have an aunt who actually caught his drumsticks in a live show, when he tossed them into the audience. As luck would have it, some joker grabbed them right out of her hands. Oh well.
No other band from the 60s had more balls than The Who. You could argue the toss about who was the most talented or which band wrote the best songs but NONE had more balls in both their music AND their attitude.
That sounds accurate, but The Doors were also pretty high up on that scale, too. Did you know that they actually performed "The End" with Jim's mother in attendance at the concert? And according to what I read, he did sing... ahem... THAT lyric. Out loud. Had to be most Freudian moment in musical history! lol
It's interesting how similar Roger's remarks are here to something Joe Walsh said a few years ago on the "Live from Daryl's House" web series. Joe also lamented the way that the ability to download music for free meant no one was getting paid anymore. That's unfortunate because when no one's getting paid, no one can afford a studio with real musicians playing real instruments, and the result is that now it's all virtual instruments on top of a pre-programmed drum machine. So the music industry churns out stuff that sounds prefab (because it is), and overly produced (because it is), and done more on the computer than live. The era of individual bands, each writing their own material, each with their own unique sound, and each bringing the magic (and the flaws) of a human performance, is over. I'm glad I grew up with the music of The Who and their contemporaries, instead of the dreck that's out now.
It's funny how the show's host half Daltrey's age perceive things. The world in so many ways is now different, but if you can get Daltrey's book on audio...he narrates.
enormous band, possibly one of the best guitarists of our times. richards so far behind. jagger, well, another planet from daltrey. actually another planet from most lead singers.
I met Roger on March 30, 1968 when they played at Westbury, NY while their opening act, Orpheus was on stage. He signed a poster for me. This was before they really took off in America. In fact, the arena they played in was half full at best. But to be honest after "Who's Next" (in my opinion) they were not the same band; the raw energy was gone. And, after Keith died in '78 they were never half as good. I think without Keith they'd have never made it!
I just came across this as I was listening to some Who music and regrettably hit the icon....These interviewers could not be more out of touch. I know that Daltrey had to made the circuit to promote his book, but Jesus, this is painful (and I am sure that Daltrey could not have been more bored) with the usual questions asked by the interviewers. NBC Today should do some research, insert some informed, intelligent talent to poise questions to Daltrey. Other than the usual known facts about the members of the band (which have been asked/answered to death), there remains countless questions and recollections that the public would like answered and it would have been nice to know had the interviewers any knowledge of this legendary performer, let alone his insight into the band and its music. I highly doubt that either interviewer had ever owned a Who album or are familiar with its body of work....this seems clear. This program and its talent should stick to it strengths: interviewing Santa Clause at the Thanksgiving Parade, providing useful tips to grill a burger in your newly-designed back yard BBQ center or even more important, how to re-condition discarded table napkins to use as baby wipes.
TRUE STORY: I was in a rock band in 1982 in the Oakland area and our manager worked for Bill Graham, the concert promoter. He got us back stage at Day On The Green and I got Roger's autograph in my concert program!!! Fast forward to about ten years ago. We went on a camping trip and my daughter forgot to turn off a water hose... when we got back after two days, the entire basement was full of water, like a swimming pool. The special suitcase I had for artifacts of my youth was down there and when I dried everything out, the autograph was gone! Heart breaking!
Daltrey has always had one of the best voices in Rock, so honest!
Yes I agree he is one of the best I never get tired of this band made timeless music Tommy quadrophenia my generation who's next proper albums anyway anyhow anywhere who are you mcvicar the list goes on seen him do Tommy couple years back played nearly 3hours he still got it
Not falsetto real high voice
I always preferred Roger's voice over the high screechy "baby, baby, baby" singers that always seem to get more credit. His voice, to me, was what Rock was always about - testosterone enriched power, but also control and range.
A great interpreter of Townshend, no question.
He's also so humble about "If you don't use it AT MY AGE, you lose it." I can play anything on guitar, but I can't sing like him or people half as good as him. Can't believe he's still hitting it out of the ballpark at his age. Keeps living up to his name!
Roger is such a musical treasure, plus the guy doesn't age, Still rockin!
Roger's such a nice guy.
oh, u know him personally do ya??
@@TheConorsmithusa my mate's cousin.

He recently worked with Wilko Johnson, he's done a fair bit of acting (not just Tommy), works with teenage cancer charities. Loads of stuff to talk about but they ask him stuff about wrecking hotel rooms.
@@geoffpoole9107 I know, it was really embarrassing.
Sorry but they don't have people in their 70's interviewing people in that same age group. The people doing the interviewing are the young pretty faces of the day. All this talk about The Who, and World War 2 and the years after, this is just World History and pop cultural history to them. The male is too busy being as GAY as he can be, almost lusting after Roger or young Roger. These kids weren't even alive in the sixties, seventies or even the 80's. So we get people who simply cannot appreciate living legends. The same would be true if you asked my 57 year old self to appreciate any so called modern music or pop culture. I just do NOT appreciate it. I wouldn't even pretend to.
@@geoffpoole9107 Which Moonie did..not Rog!
When i was a teenager my bands were and still are the who and black sabbath.
I love how Roger still gave a classy answer to every inane question from those clueless millennial interviewers
Let. Him. Talk. When he stops, ask another question. Then shut up.
Journalism 101, I would think.
Thank you for mentioning that. This bitch has no clue who´s sitting in front of her.
And let him talk about his art, not answer stupid questions about partying 40 years ago.
Exactly. Annoying clip
What a down to earth guy.
Keith Moon Fueled my high strung drumming and kept me watching with the huge drum kits he use to play on Loved this band and still do.
When he talks about being a mod, she thought he said mold
Breakfast show presenters cut straight through the hubris and make their point.
One of the best "Big"bands when performing live,much better than Zep or Stones and I saw them.Just check out Live at Leeds....
I have listened to many live recordings of all 3 bands, gotta agree, the Who had the best live sound, without a doubt.
Tim O. I’m glad we agree...Zep could be really sloppy same with Stones while Who sounded much more true to the album tracks
One of the all time best.
He’s aged fantastically
The guy is 74, wow!
Great singer and lovely guy! :)
I love Roger.
The performance of The Who at the last real Isle of Wight (1970) has never been surpassed by any other group ever!
No band has a better portfolio of songs.
Good ol' Roger !
"with a sore behind..." says Roger and the male interviewer thinks " yep, I've been there"
haha beauty
have a drink on me young man
Cheers, it had to be said😊
@@metalmick HAHAHHAHAH, because he's gay! Dude, you should take this stuff on the road. Just go up on stage and say who's gay, and you'll be on "The Tonight Show" within a month.
@___ ___ the male interviewer is so gay, when he farts, his ass yawns.
I've got a lot of time for Roger D, I read his book and like how he is so matter of fact, comical and down to earth about his time with The Who. A top guy although I can never agree with him regarding his views on Brexit.
These two had no idea what a V-1 raid was Rog.
Imagine the odds, of living through that era of extreme excess when so many rock stars died young or at least destroyed themselves with booze and drugs, to emerge decades later looking and sounding so clean and handsome. You have Daltrey, Ringo, Paul and just a few others. Also, despite his Rock God status he just comes off as an average nice bloke who may have been on a lighted stage at some point. Obviously swimming in money, but his demeanor suggests a more humble background.
Love the who !
Looking good for nearly 80
Great interviewers asking great questions
These people are clueless! Mold??? Mods! Jeez...🙄
That host’s voice makes me squirm.
@@andrewwright9378 boo hoo
To me this looks as if Roger was teaching a few first-graders! :)
Right in tune.....
These interviewers are so dreary, repeating old rumours and not even paying attention to Roger's answers to their insipid questions.
They are painful, aren't they? He's so gracious just to answer their dumbass questions.
Yes, they ask questions like a machine that had been programmed - just doing their jobs. Doubt either one likes the Who’s music. They seem more fascinated that they are talking to a famous celebrity than in what that person did.
They asked about everything but the music.
GoodbyePanama - You're right! I am challenged every day by the temptation to get mad at some young person, and they just don't know. They're not stupid, but they are badly educated, and, to top it off, they're always told that their little phone-thing has access to ALL knowledge, so there's no need to waste time LEARNING anything. In the meantime, Roger(and Pete Townsend) is still smart and nicely witty, a perfect guest for any TV personality with a brain. I have read the book he's promoting, and there's these great stories - which these clowns could have read, and gotten a really great interview - Roger was ready to talk. So what we got instead was the young hosts looking like wooden marionettes. And Roger looking like a parent, with infinite patience caring for a child unable to get all their porridge into their mouth.
David Smith and you sound like a typical oldster who has become your parents
saw the who in 82 cap centre--Daltrey seems like a cool dude
Slade was my first concert nov 73 in Asbury park.n.j.Ear Preicing fckin LOUD...But Great..the who was my 2nd concert dec 73 in Philly.1st leg of the Quadrophenia tour...than the flood gates opened.with all the Greats....almost touched Moon coming off the ramp behind the stage.with his gasoline Esso jumpsuit
Saw the same tour in Los Angeles, Thanksgiving '73. Greatest concert ever. The encore clapping lasted 20 minutes, not a soul left the building and for the only time that I know of, they did an actual, unplanned encore. Pete even smashed his guitar. Like you, it was the 2nd concert I'd been to. Nothing else ever came close. Still gives me chills. Forum, section 12, row S, seat 1.
A great story, Craig. I was born too late to see Keith play live, but I have an aunt who actually caught his drumsticks in a live show, when he tossed them into the audience. As luck would have it, some joker grabbed them right out of her hands. Oh well.
You BLEW IT WITH THE SOAP STAR. Get your facts right the next time “HARMLESS DAVE!”
The Who were in a class by themselves -
The honesty of Roger Daltrey for all to see but come on Roger you'd be lost without Heather man
He might be more lonesome, but hardly 'lost'.
No other band from the 60s had more balls than The Who. You could argue the toss about who was the most talented or which band wrote the best songs but NONE had more balls in both their music AND their attitude.
That sounds accurate, but The Doors were also pretty high up on that scale, too. Did you know that they actually performed "The End" with Jim's mother in attendance at the concert? And according to what I read, he did sing... ahem... THAT lyric. Out loud. Had to be most Freudian moment in musical history! lol
I’m glad to see Colonel Rickman stopped sliding and settled down.
(1990’s Sliders reference)
Pete said the same thing, i'm glad they are in a good mood not and not doing drugs for so many years.
Pete was addicted to cocaine at one point, but Roger has never had any kind of serious addiction issues.
It's interesting how similar Roger's remarks are here to something Joe Walsh said a few years ago on the "Live from Daryl's House" web series. Joe also lamented the way that the ability to download music for free meant no one was getting paid anymore. That's unfortunate because when no one's getting paid, no one can afford a studio with real musicians playing real instruments, and the result is that now it's all virtual instruments on top of a pre-programmed drum machine. So the music industry churns out stuff that sounds prefab (because it is), and overly produced (because it is), and done more on the computer than live. The era of individual bands, each writing their own material, each with their own unique sound, and each bringing the magic (and the flaws) of a human performance, is over. I'm glad I grew up with the music of The Who and their contemporaries, instead of the dreck that's out now.
It's funny how the show's host half Daltrey's age perceive things. The world in so many ways is now different, but if you can get Daltrey's book on audio...he narrates.
great band. Noddy Holder& Jim Lea also great songwriters!
Those interviewers haven't the slightest idea what thatmeans.
Slade were kind of hacks
It's amazing he still has a full head of hair st his age.
enormous band, possibly one of the best guitarists of our times. richards so far behind. jagger, well, another planet from daltrey. actually another planet from most lead singers.
Poor Rog...having to sit with those two cretins....God Bless him!
True 😌
The male interviewer bats for the other team.
Oooh behave!!
Wrong sport. He's a wide receiver and definitely turned down as tight end.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Can you say Fairy Deary?
Yeah. So? unless somebody makes a pass at me, I do NOT CARE who they have sex with.
Yeah, with a football bat
I met Roger on March 30, 1968 when they played at Westbury, NY while their opening act, Orpheus was on stage. He signed a poster for me. This was before they really took off in America. In fact, the arena they played in was half full at best. But to be honest after "Who's Next" (in my opinion) they were not the same band; the raw energy was gone. And, after Keith died in '78 they were never half as good. I think without Keith they'd have never made it!
I just came across this as I was listening to some Who music and regrettably hit the icon....These interviewers could not be more out of touch. I know that Daltrey had to made the circuit to promote his book, but Jesus, this is painful (and I am sure that Daltrey could not have been more bored) with the usual questions asked by the interviewers.
NBC Today should do some research, insert some informed, intelligent talent to poise questions to Daltrey. Other than the usual known facts about the members of the band (which have been asked/answered to death), there remains countless questions and recollections that the public would like answered and it would have been nice to know had the interviewers any knowledge of this legendary performer, let alone his insight into the band and its music. I highly doubt that either interviewer had ever owned a Who album or are familiar with its body of work....this seems clear.
This program and its talent should stick to it strengths: interviewing Santa Clause at the Thanksgiving Parade, providing useful tips to grill a burger in your newly-designed back yard BBQ center or even more important, how to re-condition discarded table napkins to use as baby wipes.
Sounds like an Interesting book.
TRUE STORY: I was in a rock band in 1982 in the Oakland area and our manager worked for Bill Graham, the concert promoter. He got us back stage at Day On The Green and I got Roger's autograph in my concert program!!!
Fast forward to about ten years ago. We went on a camping trip and my daughter forgot to turn off a water hose... when we got back after two days, the entire basement was full of water, like a swimming pool. The special suitcase I had for artifacts of my youth was down there and when I dried everything out, the autograph was gone!
Heart breaking!
So sucks. I had Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Baby I caught in concert thrown out by my mom..lol.
The Who's friends must to read Roger's book
