    I saw Daughtry back in the '80s when he did the Keith Moon tribute album under a raging Moon. Yoko Ono showed up with her son Sean, which was pretty cool!. He had a few other gas who I forgot but what a great show at Madison square garden, why you did the tribute to Keith Moon there was seven drummers doing under a raging Moon what a treat Roger kicked ass that night!!!

    Came back to UK just after the riots in 1981 and eveyone involved I knew was listening to this album. the working class are entitled to take back everything robbed from them by the rich English public school scumbags who run our country. McVicar did what he had to do to survive without ever grassing or selling out. He was a working class hero and so is R Daltrey

    Can't you hear that's what I say
    Free me
    Anyhow or anyway
    I hear a voice
    Call in the night
    Push on the brain
    Fades with the light
    And I've seen a face
    With so many eyes
    Out in the words
    Know there lies
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Free me, free me
    Inside I'm bleeding, can't you see
    Free me
    From all this pain and misery
    I am a flame
    But he held the fire
    Call me a fool
    Don't call me a liar
    Take me to hell
    And let me stay
    Get back some prize
    Well, I have to pay
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Free me
    I lie awake
    Burning inside
    No where to run
    And no where to hide
    Old lady time
    She's no friend to me
    I feel her change
    And she holds the key
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Can't you hear me say
    Free me, free me
    Can't you hear that's what I say
    Free me
