Great singer. The older he gets the better he looks--softer.
I have a copy of his solo album Best Bits and it's excellent.
CODGE ROCK LIVES!!!!!!!

(21,046 posts)Saw the Who in 1980 after Moon died. Kenney Jones was the drummer. It was still fabulous.
I've read that Roger was the only one in The Who who did not do drugs or drink. Maybe it shows, if true? He certainly looks healthy.

I always had a crush on him, especially since I first saw Tommy (77?78?).
When the Who played at the Superbowl half time (dates escape me!), my kids and their friends were kind of making fun of the "old guys". To them it was kind of lame, until I pointed out that those old guys are still rocking it!

(4,910 posts)I have seen them many times, first in 1975, so I got to see Keith Moon. Still think I lost a whole range of hearing at a 1979 show at Madison Square Garden.
A friend of mine saw Roger Daltrey perform in A Christmas Carol at the garden. She said he walled through the audience, signed autographs, took pictures with people and very sweet and personable. She was with her daughter, who was a toddler and she said he stopped and picked her up and told her how adorable she was. Nice memory of a nice guy.
